So, the never end saga of attempting to mount tubeless Beavers has defeated me. And before a flurry of tubeless mounting techniques appears, Ive been through the whole gamut even with a Bonty Flash charger failing - to be fair I have 21mm rims and they do say max 17 on the tyre.

Before I re-invest then I just want to check - are Dirty Dans as easy to get up tubeless as the rest of the TL Easy range?

Don't use tubeless beavers? Regular ones go up tubeless fine.

Talking about 29s here, if you're wheels are the wrong size I can't help you ๐Ÿ˜‰

They are 29 standard beavers. Of the two, it's the EXC that doesn't go up.

What rims are you using? Never had a problem with beavers myself, that's on a flow rim (22.6mm).

Pad out the rims with a few turns of insulation tape.

Pull the sidewalls apart all the way round the rim

Hang the wheel off the ground and try again with the flash charger.
