What I find easier using floor pump by initially putting tube to seat the tire and then remove the tube while the other side of the tire is seated. Then use the tire level like Macky did. That way you only worry about 1 side to check for leaks. Works for me😀

@collegepresident5237 4 года назад

Way I've always done it, pop both beads on with a tube and open one side to remove the tube and insert tubeless valve and sealant, makes it easier just dealing with one side.

@DK-wr9nd 3 года назад

Using a tube is a kind of a hassle but it assures you to get the job done.

I was just about to call my local bike mechanic, thinking I'd messed up my first tubeless conversion when I watched this. I couldn't get the bead to sit on the edge of the rim, but removing the valve core did the trick. Inflated straight away when nothing was happening before I removed it. Thanks!

Thank you SO much for posting this. I have been watching tubeless tire videos and reading articles for years, and this is the best thing I have found. Worked LIKE A CHARM! I could not get my back tire to seat, despite having a compressor, and this worked. So simple and so effective. Bravo.

@morinpatmorin1 3 года назад

This was great advice. I just did my first tubeless install without a compressor. After seating the bead as far as I could with the tire lever, inflating with a floor pump seated it the rest of the way without any fuss at all. Great advice!

@jbarszczewski 4 года назад

This is amazing. No more wasting co2 cartridges. Worked perfectly! One thing I would recommend is to add sealant after the initial set it, less messy. Just get a syringe and inject sealant before reinstalling the valve.

This tip worked GREAT!! Spent a couple hours yesterday putting a tube in and taking tube out in order to seat one side and still could not get the other side seated with air tank or Co2. Ended up saying screw it and put the tube back in last night. Saw your video and decided to give it a try. Took tube out and seated 1/2 of the unseated side with a tire iron and hit it with my floor pump. Wow! It pumped up to 40 psi and seated in 20 seconds. You are THE MAN!!!!

@coryforrester3242 2 года назад

@aharrington3 4 года назад

Honestly best tip i have picked up about anything ever on the internet - super effective. Thank you!

@EPeltzer 4 месяца назад

THE SECRET is absolutely on the money. Unless your tire beads are somehow already miraculously setting up on the shelf near the outer rim edge, even with a powerful air compressor, they will be leaking air so badly that they will never balloon out and set the bead. I took a plastic bead tool similar to yours and just maneuvered one half of the bead (on one side only) and was able to get my compressor to pop out the tire. This was on a totally dry well used tire with no soapy water and no sealant at all, but yes a large compressor. I took it on and off the rim and it just would not set until I did this trick.

@drewgustus1484 4 года назад

@woodyatlarge 4 года назад

Great info ,worked first time after struggling .No air compressor needed just a simple track pump. I firstly put a tube in and pumped it up to seat both sides , I then let the air out and carefully unseated one side and removed the tube ,I reinserted the tubeless valve then used the tyre lever to carefully seat as much of the unseated side as possible. I then removed the removable valve core and pumped like he'll with the track pump and up she went .

First time I *tried* to inflate a tubeless tyre with a floor pump, I swear I could hear it mocking me... And, went and bought a charger.

Yes, of course, why not just get a charger pump. It's hardly bigger than a standard track pump and not much more expensive.

@dubbreak 5 лет назад

Step 1: be Macky level fit Step 2: do bead trick Step 3: pump so hard you are out of breath even though you are Macky level fit 🤣 I'll stick with my compressor. Local trail head has a great air supply. Just saw someone doing tubless in the parking lot last week, said it was easier than pulling out his compressor at home. A good reason to support your local trail society. The bike wash alone is worth my yearly pledge.

@willversiontwo1653 4 года назад

Ok, so I just mounted new tires, floor pump only using your method. Got it on the first try for front AND rear. Even got the tires to hold air with no sealant and no water/soap assist...and these are 10 yr old rims with new Conti Trail Kings. Thanks!

@RocketMagnetUK 4 года назад

Main issue is a new tyre and the easiest way with a really stubborn seat is to fit an inner tube and pump it up hard. Leave it a bit then release the air (overnight if possible to get it relaxed into shape). Let out the air and release the bead on one side only (Short side if it's an Asymmetric rim) remove the inner tube without breaking the seat on the one side. Then inflate with one side 100% still seated... not once have I ever seen this method fail. Also never add sealant until its seated (always dry seat a new tyre).. then let the air out again then add sealant through the Valve with the core out using a cheap syringe and reinflate. Also a top tip is some rims are shaped so make sure valve seal is the right shape and aligned correctly.

@corsomagenta 3 года назад

this is the correct answer. ALSO, you don't need a tire tool to seat the second bead. You can just do it with your fingers by "crimping" the tire and reaching through the loose sidewall to indirectly push the bead in with the tips of your fingers from the opposite side.

@bryanb6931 Год назад

Thats' the same way i do it, If you have the time to let the tire sit overnight with a tube in it @ max pressure, works every time flawlessly.

@andrewlittleton7837 3 года назад

The tip about removing the valve core did it for me. I was getting so frustrated, but with the valve core out I got mine seated without even using your secret. Thanks!

Maybe putting the sealant in first lubricated the tire/rim interface enough to make the snap less pronounced? I always seat the tire first and then put the sealant in--less chance of mess.

This video is magic. Just swapped out tubeless tires for the first time in my life and this video made it so easy!

Dude you are a genius... Not a single one of the big youtube bike channels tells this trick and it works like a charm

Tried several different techniques and yours worked the first time. So great to hear that popping sound. Maybe you need to do more how to videos, this one saved me. Thanks.
