    Good video A few extra points: If putting a tube in a formally tubeless first cut off the valve stem , it makes breaking the bead easier you are not compressing the remaining air to break the bead. When tube is in and you are filling take the valve core out fill until bead seats, let most air back out, then reinsert valve core and refill, This allows folds and creases in tube to straighten out preventing future leaks... On a related note When first filling a tubeless also take the valve core out, You get a unrestricted flow of air which makes it easier to seat the bead . Get Greasy

      The reason I didn't mention about removing the valve core is I wanted to make the video as simple as possible. Most people don't have a valve core removal tool. You are absolutely correct though. Thanks for watching!

      If one cuts the valve stem part of it may be hard to retrieve later, and you shouldn't put the tube in if part of the stem is still inside the tire, somewhere. Just remove the valve core out. That will let all the air our.

    Awesome Video. Saved me so much time and money. For all those that wonder if you should pull out the old tube, I did. I used scissors to cut it out and pulled it out with pliers. I used that Dawn Powerwash thingie. super slick. I was friggin' amazed that it may have taken me 10 minutes from start to inflated tire. Thank you!!!!

    Inflate the tube out of the box 1st to see if it holds pressure then deflate it! It will give more flexibility when trying to stuff it in the rim & pull the valve stem thru & place it in evenly around!

      With both sides broke you can pull up on the tire so you can put the tube in the tire. Then work the tire back on the rim. No a very good explanation but that's how I do it. Thanks for watching!

    Since I put plugs to patch holes/;eaks in the tire, I clip those off. I also add a layer of some rubber material around inside the tire to protect the inner tube from puncture. What good does it do to put the inner tube in, if it will just be punctured. I also put a cable tie around the valve stem to hold it from coming out, while stuffing the inner tube in. Leave the cable tie on .

    • @ablgarage
      @ablgarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a good idea to rub your hand around the inside of the tire to make sure there is nothing sticking through that will pop your tube as soon as you fill it with air. I have had that happen a few times. Thanks for watching!

  • @Jake-tq2vr

      No. There was no tube in this tire. They don't come with tubes when new. They are tubeless tires. But when they leak air it's much cheaper to just put a tube in it then it is to replace the tire.

    What do you do if after inflating the tube the valve stem slips inside the hole and can't be pulled out? Just hope you never have to fill the tube with air again? After I released the vice grip it just flew back inside the tire lol

    • @ablgarage
      @ablgarage  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Have you ever seen a tire on your car get changed? They use soapy water on the bead to get the tire on the rim. If you don't like it don't watch. Your air compressor air is also full of moisture. Go to a gas station and fill your tire with air and there is moisture in it. Thanks for your input.

  • @roseymalino9855

    I would never deliberately trap water inside a tire. I doubt that soap is a good idea. I expect that when that soap eventually dries, it will become stuck to the tire making removal difficult if needed. Back in the day, talcum powder was sprinkled liberally inside the tire so the tube could move, spread evenly, and unfold. On those little wheels it probably doesn't matter.

    • @ablgarage
      @ablgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Talcum powder would probably work better than soapy water. I don't keep that in my garage though. Every tire shop I've ever been to uses soapy water to help get the tire on the wheel. I don't think that little bit of soap or water hurts anything. Thanks for watching!

      They don't come with tubes in them when they are new. They are tubeless tires. But the tires dry rot or get holes in them and it's cheaper to just put a tube in them rather than buy a new tire. This wheel and tire had no tube in it.
