This product is designed to help the bead pop into place during inflation, it also helps getting the beads onto the rim initially as tubeless tyres can (understandably) be a tight fit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1742 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-4-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Tubeless - 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><strong>3.<\/strong> Start opposite the valve and slip one side of the tyre onto the rim. Make sure that the bead sits in the lowest or deepest part of the U-shaped rim channel; this will give you the greatest amount of slack to work with when pulling the tyre on.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-8\" class=\"gallery galleryid-3865 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-5-MAIN-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-5-SMALL-INSET-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong> Position the last section of the bead onto the rim up near the valve. This will require some effort and some rim\/tyre combinations will be tighter than others. Once the bead is on, push it over to the other side of the valve grommet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> Lube the next bead up in preparation for mounting. It is possible to add the liquid sealant at this stage but we prefer to inject it via the valve later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6.<\/strong> Once again start opposite the valve and place the bead at the lowest point in the U-shaped rim bed. Push down evenly towards the valve to stretch the tyre on and develop as much slack as possible in the casing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-9\" class=\"gallery galleryid-3865 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-medium\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-7-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-8-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-9-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>7.<\/strong> To get the final section of the tyre on you\u2019ll most likely need tyre levers. Make sure they\u2019re free from any sharp edges that could damage the bead. Hold one side of the bead in place with your thumb while you work the other side of the bead on in small sections. Add more lube if required.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.<\/strong> With both beads on the rim, position them on either side of the valve. Give the whole tyre a visual inspection to ensure that it\u2019s sitting evenly on the wheel and pulled into shape\u2014this will help when pumping\u00a0up for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9.<\/strong> Attach a floor pump and with a few short hard pumps the tyre should seat and inflate. If air is escaping add a little more mounting fluid around the bead and remove the inner valve core to boost\u00a0the airflow.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-10\" class=\"gallery galleryid-3865 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-12-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-11-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>10.<\/strong> Pump the tyre up to around 80psi. You\u2019ll probably hear a number of loud cracks and pops as the bead is pushed up onto the shoulders of the rim\u2014this is normal. Inspect the tyre to ensure that it\u2019s evenly seated on the rim. If not sitting well and properly rounded, deflate, apply more fitting lube to the bead and re-inflate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11.<\/strong> Deflate the tyre and unscrew the inner part of the presta valve (most tubeless valve cores are removable). Using a proper removal tool is less likely to damage the valve but a small shifter or long nosed pliers will work.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-11\" class=\"gallery galleryid-3865 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-13-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-14-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>12. Using an applicator bottle or syringe, inject the sealant through the valve stem. Check with the sealant manufacturer for the recommended amount but 30ml should suffice for most 25c road tyres.<\/p>\n<p>13. Refit the valve core and inflate once more\u2014it should go up with ease as the beads will be tightly locked in place on the tubeless rim. Once up to pressure, recheck the tightness of the valve nut as these can loosen when the tyre is fully inflated. Try running 10psi less than you did with inner tubes for a smoother ride.<\/p>\n<div id=\"gallery-12\" class=\"gallery galleryid-3865 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium\">\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-15-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<dl class=\"gallery-item\">\n<dt class=\"gallery-icon landscape\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bowralclassic.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tubeless-16-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<p>14. The final step ensures there are no small leaks around the bead-to-rim junction. Hold the rim at a 45-degree angle with the tyre resting on the ground. Once the sealant has settled towards the bottom of the tyre, give it a bounce and a shake to ensure\u00a0the sealant makes contact with\u00a0the sidewalls. Move the tyre around an eighth of a turn and continue the process until you\u2019re satisfied the inner walls are completely covered.<\/p>\n<p>Do this all the way around on both sides &#8211; now you&#8217;re ready\u00a0for an even better Clare Classic experience and worry-free cycling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more on Schwalbe\u2019s road cycling tyre\u00a0solutions<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwalbe.com\/en\/road.html\">\u00a0visit their website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schwalbe is the world\u2019s leading bicycle\u00a0tyre manufacturer and a proud supporting partner of the Clare Valley&#8217;s own Gran Fondo cycling event, the Clare Classic on April 8.
