OK, I’ve got a new commute, it has thorns, and I’ve been fixing several punctures a day so I want to go tubeless with sealant to remove this ritual from my evenings.
My rims are Mavic XM719 so not tubeless. I’m soaping the rims and tyre.
I’ve tried yellow tape and valves – no worky
Tried yellow tape, and rim strips – no worky
I’ve tried a CO2 inflator and a leyzne track pump.
Tonight I’m going to hack together one of those ghetto inflators and see if that helps.
I’m thinking if that doesn’t work I’ve no chance. Can anyone think of anything I’ve missed?
Last resort is new rims, so does anyone know of any cheap(ish) tubeless rims with the same ERD as the XM719s? I was thinking that I could simply relace the wheels to new rims.
Please help :'( I’m starting to think tubeless is an internet myth designed to upset people like myself.
