Thread: DIY tubeless tyre fitting

its a lot easier to fit tubeless, if the valve is already in the rim why don't you give it a try. If your trying to fit a tube yourself & you are not well practiced you will pinch it every time. Its good to get these skills at home, save a lot of grief on the track.

If you use balancing powder or some other balancing product inside the tyre you don't even need to get them balanced.
(might try baby powder next time I do one, at least I'll smell nice when I let some air out )

What is EASYBALANCE? Tyre Balancing Powder


Counteract Balancing Beads -

Only one has a valve so i'll pick a tyre as the spare and have a go fitting it.
Not using tubes unless i need to.

Put the valves in yourself, it's good practice for when your climbing up to reach the roofrack and you stand in the tyre and hear pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h......


I carry spares and make sure my tubes fit the hole as well

A clip on tyre chuck so your not standing next to the tyre is the way to go too.

Don't do that either!

Seen it disable a vehicle when it let go.

Last thing you need out bush is a flat tyre and broken 4wd!

Sit it clear of the vehicle, start it inflating and then move away as it builds pressure. Or do the alternate "fast seating" method at your choosing...

pass the eye end of your drag chain through the center of the wheel then pass the tail through so you have a running loop.

anchor the other end of the chain and then when you do the inflate stand 1.5 times the length of the chain away from the tyre.

OR just do what I do and hide behind a vehicle or someone you dont like
