Well, after a gash attempt at the weekend I'm trying my tubeless rims out again!
Had Conti Mountain Kings in a 2.2 (My ARSE! They're tiny!) I caught the rim and tyre at Cwmcarn and couldnt get it to re inflate. Hated the tyre so decided to move over to Non UST Pany Rampage 2.35's.
Got them to inflate on the back, tyre was backwards so took it off, never re inflated, so I went to tubes for the weekend!
Anyway, I've now got some more stans and a new valve(Snapped one, ooops) so gave it another bash tonight!
Had them with tubes so at least one side was already locked in, inflated less sealant to see if i could get it to work. Noope…. no joy!
Used the Stans bubble technique, inflated immediately off a track pump! Very happy.
Let it down, took a bit of bead off to fill with stans fluid, put it back together, lots of bubbles and it inflates. 40psi as recommended… shaking the sealant around and the rim blows out the tyre and across the garage, deafening me in one ear! Oh, covered in latex too… try explaining an explosion at 9pm followed by leaving head to toe in the stuff!
Try it all again, only up to 30PSI and shaking the spokes rather than holding the tyre. They're now both inflated and dryin in the garage, will flip them over tomo to settle and seal the other sides. Hopefully they wont have lost much pressure and its all good!
Why did the rim fly out the tyre? Still slippy from the soap letting it release?
Has anyone else safely run a non UST rampage 2.35 SC on a UST rim?
Any guesses on if it will continue to work?
One thing I have learnt is how to inflate tyres onto UST rims using a track pump, once you have the nack its not actually that hard!
