my footpump to bits in a rage not being able to seat my tubeless tyre! what a bloody pita, I might just go back to tubes 👿
Did you smash it against your head?
CO2 is your friend
No, it was bounced off the garage wall!!
My friend will be the bike shop tomorrow I think!
Do you run a small hotel in Torquay?
LOL did you feel better afterwards?
Nobody laugh. The OP might have mental health issues.
Did your tyre explode and spray sealant everywhere?
LOL'd at that 😆The OP might have mental health issues.
I did feel much better afterwards actually 😀 It wont be the first thing Ive flung and won`t be the last 😉
I might just get some old plates from the car boot sale every now and again and chuck them instead 😀

Smashing things, they are! 😉
OP - do you play the guitar (badly)?
This could be the start of a beautiful thing. Hobnob anyone?

Why has he put a tube in that penguin? No wonder it didn't work.
He's trying to p-p-p-pump up a penguin, obvs..
Must be annoying to fail at something so badly....
Something so easy 😆
Feeling the STW love yet Lee ?
29" tyre on a 26" rim, its never going to end well is it ?
Why are you not using a lemonade bottle ?
Are footpumps good for it? Never really heard of people using them... Not to say it can't work.
The difference between ideal pump and not ideal pump is massive tbh, I think quite often people think they've got a quality pump so it'll work, but I've got a deeply non-quality pump which works brilliantly as it shifts masses of air, and a quality pump which is rubbish at tubeless.
Or garden sprayer if you have one

You have just insulted 1 out of 4 STW posters
Because you can't smash a lemonade bottle up. 🙄Why are you not using a lemonade bottle ?
Because you can't smash a lemonade bottle up.
Yes but if he uses the bottle to seat his tyre that gives him more time to smash penguins
Id done the rear with no problem at all but the front just wasnt playing. I took the core out of the valve and with my now deceased footpump being a twin cylinder you can get air in quickly. Ive done them before with no problem but today just wasnt a patient day for me 😀
If you've got enough energy to throw something, then you weren't trying hard enough. If you can see stars that just means you're doing a good job.
Lawmanmx, yep that's how I do it, although I cheat a little as I've got a Joe Blow high volume pump and I apply neat fairy liquid to the tyre bead (old Motocross trick), Single Ply Tubeless Tyres on wide tubeless rims are a dream, Dual Ply Non Tubeless Tyres are a challenge, but you've got to keep the faith and pump like ****!!!
Time to try seating the tyre with fire!

Your are my dad and I claim my five pounds.
Just wait for the explosion when he pops back out to the garage and finds the one he got on has deflated already.
