Reply To: Tubeless tyres will not bead

Sometimes the only way to get a tire to seat is to use a real air compressor. So go to your local tire shop, gas station, or bike shop and try seating those tires with some serious air pressure. I’m no tubeless tire expert but I’ve seldom had any luck seating a tubeless tire without a compressor. In addition you might need to put on more layers of tape to build up the bead. There are many Youtube videos which describe this process. Try to find an older video which describes this process before tubeless rims became more common.
