It wasn't clear to me at which step you put the sealant in. After the tubeless tire stem, or before? On Sat, Jul 18, 2015 at 12:40 PM, Doug Williams salg...@minbaritm.com wrote: I converted my Babyshoe Pass EL's on Pacenti SL23 rims to tubeless yesterday. So my 58cm 650B Homer is running

I seated both beads using a n inner tube. Then I broke one bead to remove the inner tube and install the tubeless valve. On Monday, July 20, 2015 at 11:22:22 AM UTC-7, Jim Bronson wrote: It wasn't clear to me at which step you put the sealant in. After the tubeless tire stem, or before?

It is still not clear to me at what point you put the sealant (Stan's, Orange Seal, or similar) in the tire. You mention installing the tubeless valve stem, but you don't mention adding sealant. Or are you saying you didn't use any sealant? On Mon, Jul 20, 2015 at 1:42 PM, Doug Williams

Doug: thanks for posting this; very very useful information. I hope (God willing) to replace the 559X1.35 Kojaks on the '03 Curt-built Rivendell with the (God willing) forthcoming Compass 559 X 32 extralights, and run them tubeless on Sun/Ringle EQ 21 rims using Orange Seal or Stan's and a Stan's

I converted my Babyshoe Pass EL's on Pacenti SL23 rims to tubeless yesterday. So my 58cm 650B Homer is running SMOOTH. Everything is great so far, I'll followup with a long term report after some more miles. Some preliminary observations: From what I had read, I was expecting a battle; but
