Little tip is get a lighter and heat up the bacon strips after you snip the ends off it will melt both ends together and form a little glue and seal better.

This guy is literally the best tutorial guy I’ve ever seen on something in my life 😮👍😎

Super helpful. I am a recent convert to tubeless (bought a used bike) and prepping for my first long ride on them.

Hello everyone. Im 30 years old and learned something new a week ago. Maby the best repair invention ever!!! A normal inner tube but cut in 2 and sealed both ends. U never need to take the wheel off the bike. For sure electric mountenbikes. Its called a snake or sausage tube. If u inflate it its a straight tube. I never seen it before

I'm new to tubeless mtb riding. I didn't realise I could put a tube inside it. That's good to know and makes sense. Handy to carry one of them in the kit then. Thx

[SimonYeates]

Good detail and great intro into fixing our first tubeless puncture.

[somerandomblokeybloke]

I think I'll just stick to tubes :) I've never heard of tyre boots before, I will be getting some of those!

[jacquespienaar]

nothing like watching gmbn after a long day of school

[funiguy]

Helpful video!
I just got a puncture out on a ride about a hour ago on the same tire in the video: Vittoria Mazza!
I wonder if this tire is more prone to punctures than a Maxxis or other brand because I rarely
ever get punctures.
It's a very small puncture so I'll try checking my sealant level and add if necessary. Thanks!

Was sceptical at first, but being able to just pull thorns out of tyre and ride on is worth it and lower tyre pressures of course. Downside is getting enough air volume to seat the bead i found but 29+ tyres on 50mm rims

[Eltoca]

If you run cushcore, is there a test to check how much sealant you have other than the dipstick test or taking the tire off?

[LegsDavo]

I find those twist on pumps as shown in the video at 3.00 take the valve core out when you undo them. Or have I been making a silly error in their application?

[hastings]

For us new to the hobby the videos you guys put out are awesome, much appreciated. What do you guys think about air-liners like Vittoria for example?

[chriscowan]

excellent vid here....thank you for the terrific content

[lechprotean]

Can you do an an episode "how to avoid punctures in the first place?"

[posniknelb]

Yep, I ride an e bike, so I don't think I'll ever go tubeless. I'll stick with slime inners. And I carry a puncture kit and pump etc in my riding backpack with a spare tube.

[szakalbarnabas]

A regular patch from the inside also works?

[Adamvdoodle]

i maged to get a small rock from the trail in my tire and dident relise untill i plug it up
