- Neil kicks off our two-part video guide to tubeless by walking through everything you need to know in order to complete a proper tubeless setup. Plus, he demonstrates how to set up your tires using just a floor pump. Watch it below and stay tuned for part two covering tubeless repair while out in the field.

Really great video! I like how you demo it outside where flats occur, not in your garage. Another tip I learned that I find very helpful, is to always align your valve stem with the max tire pressure printed on the sidewall. That way it's always quick and easy to locate :)
Best video I've seen on tubeless setup, thanks a ton!
Great video Neil. I learned something new today...add sealant after airing up tire. Very smart, just in case there is an issue seating the tire.
Beautiful background
Great beer choice Neil! (I'm from Michigan) I set up my tubless tires the same way, dry fit, then add sealant throught the valve. I've shared this video with countless inner tube users trying to convert them, hopefully it works.
AWESOME! Can’t wait to see Part 2!
Thank you for the video Neil, very informative and well made
Nice job Neil! Clear, informative, simple; thanks for making this video, now on to part 2
Thanks for watching both, Matthew! I know it’s a lot of info but I hope it helps ya!
Great video Neil, thanks! I'm trying out tubeless on the weekend so this will be really handy.
Oh yeah! Good stuff. Looking forward to more Pringles.
been looking all over. still can't find those tubeless-specific toothpicks... ha great videos man - keep em coming!
You guys should do a video on modifying a pump to inflate a sleeping pad
inside out toothpick is a nice trick, thanks Neil.
Good demonstration. I agree about not using the plunger. It works, but adds an extra complication and something to clean up after words. As for the valve core, I have begun using a q-tip to clean out the residue of the sealant, just as an extra precaution against the spring in the valve core getting gummed up. It might not be necessary, but I like going that extra step. It's such a hassle to find your core glued stuck from sealant out on the trail, or at home. If I think I'm going to need to top off some sealant out on a ride, or help someone else who needs to, I take a small tube that can be threaded over the valve stem (minus the core), and using one of those smaller bottles of sealant, I squirt some into the tire. Then I can clean it out later at home with warm water or alcohol. Just something to consider. Nice video.
New to tubeless, and took me a while to figure out that it's really hard to seat the tire with a floor pump if you don't do a fair bit of tire wrasslin before pumping, to get it above the spoke channel.

I have had a lot of issues using tubeless rim tape, so i switched to using Gorilla tape. It might be a little heavier, but it works really well. Curious if anyone else out there does the same thing.
Nice! Angry catfish logo!
Maybe I missed it but what was the reason for lining up the name on the tire with the valve? Great vid thank you
I didn’t mention, so thanks for asking, it’s so you know where the valve always lives in relation to your tire, that way you can find it faster when you need to pump it up. Another reason is that it looks clean when they are both positioned in the same location.
@@BIKEPACKINGcom thanks! That's a nice pro tip, I usually find myself playing wheel of fortune trying to find the valve so this is most helpful.
I went tubeless, got a puncture, and the sealant just leaked out. Is that an issue with my rims, or the sealant?
Sounds like you need a plug. Stay tuned on Friday for part 2.
what beer goes best with setting up tubeless?
Depends on the season, but for this video it was a refreshing Bell's Oberon. It's a delicious wheat ale.
Genuine feedback on the channel Neil - you need to think about speeding up delivery. ATM I like watching the content you're making but it needs to be at 1.5x. It shouldnt need to be at 1.5X
BTW, as your main job is managing a website its ok but you should really normalize your volume, as all the video segments have different volumes, and it is kinda irritating
Thanks for the feedback Azad, I'll work on the volume. I'm still newish to video work, but the last thing I want to do is irritate the viewer. All the best, Neil
noone who is bikepacking will use lower tire pressures as the extra weight of the "packing" will prowide needed traction... lower pressure means more drag, more drag means more power needed the get where you going
I was bikepacking gravel roads and Forest roads on 40mm tires 2 weeks ago. There are lots of different ways to play.
Put it another way - tubeless has a lower rolling resistance than clinchers for a given tyre pressure, so you can benefit from lower pressures for the same RR
@@goldfever4570 i didn't say its bad or anything, i use tubeless too, but not because i want lower pressures... And personally i don't find any use case for lower pressures in bikepacking because noone will bike really fast through really sketchy turns... Saying tubeless is superior because lower pressures is like saying a hamburger is great because it has mayo in it
@@alecfotsch3533 its personal maybe, i use tubeless tires and i use 25-27psi for lower rr and higher puncture ressistance... I don't think lowering my pressure will benefit me in any way, as I don't need any more traction than my tires already give me... But if you like to go fast in wet, muddy turns, yeah go ahead and lower that pressure, but I highly doubt any one will go fast in these conditions
