[Closed] 2bliss tyres and stans sealant

Yes you do need sealant. The 2bliss are Ment to work with it unlike a ust tyre that's airtight on its own

I would. 2Bliss aren't UST tyres but tubeless ready.

Sealant will help.

I use stans in my 2bliss storm controls on arch ex rims. 2bliss is tubeless ready rather than ust.
Edit:
2slow!

Yes and the sealant will seep through the sidewalls initially but don't worry about that as it calms down after a bit.

I've had some 2bliss tyres that were airtight without sealant, but that's pure luck and I still wouldn't ride them like that.

TBH most people use sealant even with UST.

So will the stans kit that comes with the rim tape, valves and sealant be enough to complete it?

Yep, you can use other brands too, I've been using Specialized Roval tape and valves with Stans rims and 2bliss tyres over a year now.

It's important to get the rims spotless before you tape them to the tape takes well and particularly the lip where the tyre bead sits. And well worth giving the beads a scrub before you pop them on if the tyres aren't new.

Should inflate easily with a track pump and a bit of gusto 🙂

Will thishope kit be enough? I am using stans rims.

Dont waste money on buying a kit. Go for the good old bmx tube rim strip approach. Way better than any kit.

Forgive my ignorance glupton but what do you mean?

No, you dont need a rubber type rim strip like glupton says, thats if your rims aren't tubeless ready, which yours are! you just need some thin yellow tape to seal up any spoke holes in the rim!!

•1 x Yellow rim sealing tape 25mm - can be cut down for narrower rims

No dont do this, if you need the 21mm tape get it.

Actually I find that quite shocking, bad Hope, bad bad Hope - is that the ex-RR approach then, flog you the wrong tape and tell you to take a knife to it?

Insulation tape 3 wraps

Terrible advice. He has Stans rims!

I read on another thread from a year back that you ca use the 25 and run it in using an old spoke?

I just went into the garage and went tubeless on my 2bliss Puragatorys with some Stans juice and a track pump. Took about 10 minutes. I was expecting a fight but it was laughably easy. Should have done it years ago!

im having real issues with my roval wheels 2bliss strips and roval valves. using maxxis beavers. (not tubless but have been tubeless before)

the air is leaking form the nipples! any ideas?

Aye, gap/damage in the tape, or badly fit/damaged valve. IME it's usually the tape, Roval valves are better than most.

cheers. ill get spesh to send me some new rim strips

Bought a kit like the link for less than £20. So will probably be on here next saying I cant get the flaming things to go up.

Standard electrical tape works just as well as the yellow tape IME.

Think thats what I said, works

Electrical tape is far more flexible than Stans and air pressure will push it into the spoke holes quite darmatically unless you use 2 or 3 wraps.

Something like Gorilla tape is a tough & relatively cheap alternative but doesn't come in widths less than 25mm. It does tear lengthways easily though, down to the width you want.

I see my mistake now. Dont bother with the bmx tube - go for insulating tape instead as others have said. 3 or 4 times round should so it.

Top tips for going tubeless
1 Get valves with a removable core
2 Tyre on with a standard tube and inflate to seat the tyre on the rim, NB dont ever ever go above 55 PSI.
3 Take one side of the tyre off the rim, remove tube.
4 Put in Valve and blow up tyre to seat removed side of tyre onto rim.
5 Core of valve out, pour in gunge inflate and jobs a good un.

I've tried 2 Bliss tyres and the went up really easily on XT UST rims,

I always add a bit of sealant regardless of the tyre.
