Isn't it great when you've had a bit of a battle getting a tyre to seat and then *pop* the bead goes on?

This thread is a celebration of the joy of getting tubeless right.

Today, after a mighty struggle I am KING of tubeless.

Wait 'til you look at the tyre tomorrow and it's gone down... 🙁

Go for a ride now while the sun is out. Then you won’t have to suffer the ‘morning after flat tyre’ let down... 😉

I proclaim myself to be the village idiot then. I had to youtube how to get the tyre over the rim! Never had any issues getting tyres on until I went tubeless for the first time. Made me feel totally feeble. But the internet saved me, and bar the terrible sealant I'm using, I quite like tubeless.

Been for 2 rides on it now. Everything is great. Tubeless is great.

After a struggle getting my tyres seated I was in tubeless heaven when they finally held the air. 2 days later checked and rear tyre was fine but front had deflated completely.  I just inflated again and noticed some sealant coming out a small section of the rim. Ever since then they have remained airtight
