2023 Subscriptions Codg1e Posted July 13, 2019 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 Bought new sealant. Deflated the tyre, took valve core out, put new sealant in, spun the wheel to circulate the sealant, attached the pump, it won't inflate 🤷♂️. Thinking it's maybe not quite seated right? Google says I need a compressor to put a bit of ooomph in when pumping it up but I don't trust Google and I don't have a compressor. Called Dooleys who have one and could seat it for me and get it pumped up with their compressor. Does this sound right? Did I go wrong somewhere? Perhaps I shouldn't have fully deflated the tyre?

2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted July 13, 2019 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 From what I’ve read, some tyres do need extra oomph to seat them. Others don’t. Guess it depends on tyre/rim combo. Codg1e 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't much of the old sealant left as it's been repairing the same wee puncture for a few weeks now. Got other plans tomorrow morning... are you around in the afternoon or on Monday?

Committee Alan McLean Posted July 14, 2019 Committee Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I use gas to ban the beads on. Once they are on they usually don't come off even if tyre is completely deflated. Codg1e 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
