Tubeless Tyres -"saying the same things about tubeless tyres over and over again" Hippy read the first f**king post

You don't happen to recall the internal rim width or the tape width you ended up using on these do you? I dragged out the green tape and according to (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223507265163) appears to be about 28.6mm wide.

The roll of tape I had was much too wide so I tore narrower strips, and did it by eye. Roughly an inch, could have been wider

Ta. I'm gonna have to go look at her bike aren't I?

I feel another tubeless setup rant coming...

Think they are i25

Teravail cannonball tyres went on pretty OK once I remembered to finish valve side, inflated and set first time (with a joe blow booster), and kept pressure overnight (with the sealant from previous tyres). Haven't seen any of the sealant oozing out like I did the WTB Horizons they replaced.

All on kinlin rd-3ft rims

Big thumbs up for Pirelli Cinturo H in 45mm. Just got me round Badlands with zero issues. Shit loads of rocky descents and plenty (far too much) sand. Set off with 25psi and pumped up slightly 2/3 of the way through.

I have a new and exciting tubeless failure report. Rode over a nail in the City, stopped and took it out and the sealant seemed to seal the hole, but the tyre wouldn't pump up at all.

The one time I forget a spare tube... got a train home.

It appears that the nail went all the way through and pierced the tape at a spoke hole. Guess I need to carry spare tape as well, as a tube would have burst through the hole.

The green tape I have is about as wide as the rim walls, so once I've pulled out the Spesh tape (pity, as it looks solidly taped in there) then I think it should be about the right size for these rims.

Problem I have now is the 45mm Riddlers on currently have a very bent bead and definitely won't hold air if I try to set them up TL.

I've got an Ultrabite coming today but I might have to order her another new, rear tyre as well, something in 700x45ish

LOLz

Schweppes lemonade ?! why not supermarket own brand?

Does Co-Op even sell its own lemonade?

Wrap that thing in tape before it goes BOOM!

The bottle is the strongest piece in all of this.

Did you never play around with bottle rockets as a kid?

Apparently they're good for 150PSI as standard

Sack this.

Get one of these

It was only 9 quid when I got it but still. You can build the pressure up then release it with the trigger, it's worked great.

I already own a Booster pump, it's just not in the house and I had all the bits for this exploding bottle rocket disaster waiting to happen so I thought 'what the hell'. Not looking to buy more stuff.

Fuck me the Spesh tape on the Hayfields is on tight!

Fuck me the G-One Ultrabite went on and up without a fight. Didn't even need the booster. No satisfying crack though.

Supply chain problems hitting that market too? Things are worse than we thought

I did wonder if I should flesh that statement out a bit to remove any ambiguity and then thought "where's the fun in that?"

Yes but I don’t think we went anywhere near 100psi!
I was quite surprised at how well my 1.5l DIY booster worked for the 3 years I had it. The epoxy glob holding the valves in was my weak point in the end.

I've only got a little bit of PTFE tape on the valves. I'll call it a safety release valve.

I wonder if it’s the hayfields. I had much better crack on kinlin and even mavic than those

Hard to say as I've never TL'd Hayfields nor have I fitted a G-One. I was also doing it with my Rennkompressor with crackpipe - basically my TT disc wheel pump, that really sucks for anything else.
