I’ve eventually got round to converting my Stans flows to tubeless with the hope conversion kit and single ply folding high rollers.
I don’t know if i’m dumb or i missed this in the instructions?
But after struggling for 30 minutes pumping away with the track pump blowing bubbles I was ready throw my toys out of the pram!
So ran through it methodically
1 – use a standard tube to inflate the tyre and get the beads to sit correctly
2 – remove the tube – at least one side of the tyre is seated!
3 – Add washing up liquid solution
4 – run a tyre lever round the rim with the hook of the lever behind the bead but use you fingers to make sure the tyre doesn’t come off the rim – effectively pulling the bead of the tyre into the correct place – i found i had to run the lever round a couple of times to get it to work.
5 – pump tyre up – pop straight into place and holding air without any sealant!
6- remove valve core and add sealant
7 – re pump tyres back up
8 – go ride 😀
Hope this will save anyone the embarrassment of upsetting their neighbors by swearing profusely at an inanimate object 😳
