    How to reseal a popped tubeless tyre

    For those that are running tubeless tyres on Tubed rims and are scared of letting them down too low incase you pop a bead here is a easy way to reseal your beads.

    I usually lube my rims with WD40 to help them pop on easy but then I run a load binder around the circumfrence & tighten up to seal the beads.

    But this way seems to work a treat.

    This was done on "Top Gear" in the Arctic a couple of years ago.

    WD40 is not really good for that use as it will keep lubricating the seal between tyre and rim and allow it to slip. You would be better of using proper rim lubricant, it go's tacky and helps keep them tyre on in low pressure situations.

    What we need is a gas that expands enough to actually inflate the tyre as well in one step.

    Getting the right pressure would be VERY hit and miss...
    And thats a reason to take the valve stem out when using this trick..

    used to be a few threads on this

    hairspray/flyspray etc is the way to go apparently


    BUT: use the can inverted so you only get propellant into the tyre


    also plenty of demos on youtube like:

    We could try extreme tyre seating on solid tyres.
