    I always find that warm tires are easier to install than a cold one. I usually put them in the sun for a few minutes before installing. The tires seem to be more flexible when warm.

      I put them in the bathroom (my warmest room) 11:04 over night before installing so they’re 26 degrees Celsius when I install them instead of being 15 degrees. It’s often the difference from an easy install and a hard install. I also bought the plyer thingie and it’s absolutely worth it.

    05:11 I'm middle aged, and I've been installing bike tyres/tubes for 35 years. I bought my first road bike 4 years back, and thought the wheels/levers/tyres were defective as impossible to install tyres. Eventually discovered the new fangled centre channel which very few people seemed aware of! Once I used that I could almost do without tyre levers. My old fashioned knowledge definitely needed updating!

    Thanks for the good advice of putting the valve stem at 11 or 1 o’clock when mounting tubeless tires. My experience goes all the way back to mounting wire bead clinchers in the late 1960’s when I was a teenager and riding sew-ups for three decades as an amateur racer. Now, it tubeless on all my bikes. I had been starting to mount the bead of the tubeless tire at the valve stem itself, then working all the way around to the opposite side to get the bead over the rim. A real struggle even with your Silca tire irons and high quality aluminum rims. Now, I will do your method instead. Learn something new every day. Thanks !!!

    Your pressure calculator really helped me, and I'm just an average guy. Interestingly, I like them about 2 psi less than the calculator tells me. Now I know why. By the way, my Pirelli P Zero Road 28 mm measure about 30 mm on my wheels with 21 mm inner width using TPU tubes. Part of the reason I switched from Contis is the Pirellis are so much easier to mount. I can always do it with my bare hands. And they never get those fibers coming out of the sidewalls like Contis.

    • @countspokeula539

    I’ve got a couple sets of wheels that are from the early days of Tubeless. Sometimes to seat my tires tubelessly, I have to mount the tire with a tube to seat the bead, then remove one side (and the tube), install the valve stem sans core, and use A LOT of pressure to re-seat the other bead. A bit of a dance, but it works!

    • @s.j.5850
      @s.j.5850 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Even using the "blast" bicycle pumps don't always work because the air escapes before it can build up enough pressure to seat the bead of the tire. I am now resorting to using an inner tube inside my tubeless wheels since that's how the bike came originally. For me tubeless tire mounting & sealant is no longer worth the hassle. The weight penalty is insignificant in my opinion.

    • @SILCAVelo
      @SILCAVelo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, early tubeless was built around a vision or true, sealant free, tubeless functionality, just like a car tire and OMG, the tire install and removal was crazy!! Kudos to you for sticking with it, when it worked, it was really good.. but most people bailed out of that tech very quickly which sadly set the whole tubeless transition back a few years..

  • @888jhs
    @888jhs 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I don’t sweat much on my trainer, but just in case, I use a slightly cracked carbon wheel on the trainer so don’t need to worry about damage (in my case the trainer bike is only used on the trainer). So if you have an old wheel and use your road bike on the trainer, take a minute and swap out your good road wheel for an old one and then no worries.

  • @clarkcooper2920
    @clarkcooper2920 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    In the section in which you discuss inspection of the wheel, you focus on the spoke nipples and the hub, especially where the spoke attaches to the hub. In addition, it is critically important to inspect the rims for cracks, both radial cracks emanating from the spoke holes and circumferential cracks in the rim sidewall, both resulting from cyclic stress of the rolling wheel, through the spoke to the rim. These cracks can propagate and lead to catastrophic wheel failure.

    Excellent explanation on tyre fitting. I had worked it out myself over time and just put a pair of Maxxis Forecaster 2.4WT on a 30mm inner carbon rim without using any tyre lever. In the past I have damaged the decals on the rim by inserting the lever and moving it in a direction that will run over the decal. I always check that now. I do not use any lubrication to fit a tyre but there is advice out there to use soap etc, any thoughts?

    • @SILCAVelo
      @SILCAVelo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If you can do it without anything, that is best... most latex based sealants have very high Ph and will harden quickly if exposed to water, so you can use a highly concentrated soap (SILCA bike wash has Ph 11.. similar to SILCA sealant) but it needs to be the absolute minimum amount. With synthetic sealants like MucOff or Milkit you can use a tiny bit of soap in water as those sealants are not hardened by water.

    Thanks for following up on the disc brake question; I agree that if anything, high temp metal anti-seize without anything else in it that corrodes aluminum is probably the thing to use on CenterLock lockring. I guess the question is whether it's better than dry; risk of contamination vs risk of seizing. Nickel would obviously be fine but would the high temp grease of the Silca Anti-Seize withstand disc rotor temperatures of however many 200+ degrees? Withstand = stay viscous enough to not spray out and contaminate.

    • @SILCAVelo
      @SILCAVelo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      SILCA anti-seize is considered non-migrating inside of jet turbines (1500 degres F is the listed burnoff of the synthetic carrier), so at our low rotational velocities and temperatures you will be fine ;-)

    BUT when installing a tube in a road (or narrow gravel) tire due to HUGE gash, and there's tubeless rim tape on an already not-too-deep center channel (Zipp?) rim, any other thoughts? The tube typically does NOT want to stay up in the tire where it belongs, and levers exacerbate the tube trying to escape, and then pop. May have to start packing one of those 'tire pliers' shown in the vid. Cheers!

    • @SILCAVelo
      @SILCAVelo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is such a challenging situation! Yes, the key is to get just the tiniest amount of air into the tube to give it shape to avoid pinching but not enough that it has really any outward force against the tire.. ahhh!! So difficult!

    I installed tubeless road tires with foam inserts yesterday and it was a big mess and the only way I can think of getting them off again involves explosives. Can you cover inserts in the next video, especially in combination with the Silca sealant that does not go through the valve.
    My tip on installing tubeless tires is the Crank Brothers Speedier lever which hooks over the bead. Its main function is stopping the bead of coming off again.

    • @SILCAVelo
      @SILCAVelo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Just filmed a video discussing this a little bit, should come out this week.. but yes, they are a total nightmare. The key is to get about 90 degrees of bead unseated.. not removed, but just pushed inward far enough that it's no longer sitting on the bead shelf.. then use your fingers to sort of massage the insert radially outward into the tire and once it moves you can now push that bit of bead down into the channel.. the trick is to then work your way around the wheel doing this with both hands while not letting the insert push back inward as it will displace the bead if it does this.. it's a real skill and I've done hundreds of these and still find it completely madenning. For WT teams at Roubaix, not gonna lie, we just cut through the tire and disembowel the insert.. such a waste, but when you have 40-60 wheels to do and the tires were free.. that's what happens!

    2. Tire install / Removal. tick. I learned to use the groove a few years ago, what a difference.
    3.Trainers and Corrosion. tick. Consider general riding too as sweat gets into head stems etc. I avoid the problem by not using a trainer.
    4. Disc rotors. tick. do not touch. I use an auto brake cleaner when I clean the bike after it has been cleaned. I use auto cleaning shampoo, then wax the frame and use an armour all product on the rubber and seat et al, then I brake clean.
    5. Inspection. tick. and the bike itself. every time I take the chain off for a warm wax bath. I check that all is tight, including chains / rings, seat and seatpost, cassette, spokes derailleurs and levers.

      Just shot a video this weekend addressing this, but get some cheap pipe cleaners, like the ones kids use to make crafts, and put some Synergetic or SynergE lube on there, then run it through the valve. Soak the valve core in a little Synergetic or SynergE while you do this and then reinstall. The WS2 nanoparticles in the lube fill in all of the little micropores in the metal surface and act like a non-stick coating for the valve. Our other suggestions are to store the valves in the 5 o'clock position, and before you ever let any air out of the valve, put a pump on and give it a good blast of air into the tire.. this will purge any sealant residue inside the valve and keep it from getting carried into the valve core by escaping air.

    Another part that might break by sweat is the handlebar. Some people sweat a lot from the hands or the sweat from the face falls down on the bar tape and the accumulation of salts in the bar tape corrod the handlebar. Signs that the sweat of the user is corrosive is sometimes seen by the coating finish of the brakes levers or name plate of the shifters are worn down by the corrosion of the sweat 💦.

      @rollinrat4850 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Before inflating or letting air out, turn the valves near the ground. Gently bounce the bike, then wait a few minutes. Then inflate.
      Anytime you add sealant, clean off the valve core or replace it. Always keep valve cores on hand. Put in your sealant, Blast the open valve with an air gun to reseat the tire, now install cores and reinflate.
      Keep extra cores and a remover in your patch kit or use the one in a spare tube.
      Ive been running tubeless before Stan's ever existed, when it was DIY only. Ive learned almost all the mistakes, but I still mostly use split tube 'ghetto' tubeless.
      Ive installed over a thousand commercial tubeless tires in a shop and its certainly job security. Doesnt need to be messy either. Patience and practice are most important.
      Ghetto is cheap and plenty safe, IF youre careful about it. The original Stans conversion strips are practically the same thing. Rubber to rubber and latex are almost a perfect sealing scenario and now you've got a bonded tire construction that almost feels like a tubular.
      If I was still racing Id use tubulars still.
      Silk tubs spoiled me for life!

      Bucket method works well, though I get what a pain it can be filling multiple buckets, but that's probably safest. There are small pressure washers that feed from buckets, but they introduce some risk and you still have to fill the buckets! Some people I know will do it in a shower which also works but does bring it's own issues!! I'd say keep doing what you're doing, also be sure to dry the bike, we will cover this in a future video, but a nice microfiber wipe to dry really does help to remove any residual dirts/oils/debris and if you have hard water, will also reduce any potential damage to calcium or lime buildup.

    Hi Josh. I have an off topic question about Zipp which you mentioned several times on a recent GCN video. I just unpacked my Zipp 950 disc from about 25 years ago. I discovered that my 10-speed cassette still fits and it seems to spin normally. It seems to be in great condition but not used for about 15 years and only used maybe 25 times ever.

      They will not affect your pressure, but the key is to get them the right size for your application.

    When tires are installed the usual thing to do is install one side at a time. When one side is installed, and the other is about 90% installed, and that smalll section is left hanging and stretched outside the rims channels, does having that section of tire bead stretched like that cause a wobble in the tire when it's installed and pumped up? I have Continental Race King tires that have developed what seems to be a permanent wobble. It's definitely not how I install them because I make sure the line just above the bead is uniformly even around the circumference of the rim both sides. It may be due to the frequent punctures from glass, but I'm not 100% of that yet.

    • @SILCAVelo

      The only real downside of tubes in tubeless setups is that it's heavier and has higher rolling resistance. Tubeless tires already contain extra rubber making them a bit heavier and potentially slower than tires made for tubes.. so by keeping a tube in there, you are getting the worst of both worlds. As for your etching of your wheels, that should not happen with any of the modern ammonia free sealants and a good TPP rim tape.

      It's likely a combination of both, but mostly the carbon.. if it were grit and dirt in the interface, we'd see it on aluminum rims as well, but it's almost unheard of in that application. However, I think that grit in that interface will wear away the epoxy more easily than the carbon, and the carbon left exposed will be fiber ends, making a sort of micro saw blade. I personally hit all my rims with a white scotch-brite pad on this surface when new to try polish it as smooth as possible, but the real solution lies with the tire companies putting a protective material in this area, which most all of them are now doing.

    Is there any feedback from anyone on why the Silca tire pressure tool recommendations are so different from the SRAM one? A little variation is expected but for my road bike (28mm tires), the SRAM tool recommends 65 psi back and 61 front. The Silca tool recommends 78 back and 76 front. For reference, I'm around 155 pounds, the bike plus gear add up to around 20-21 pounds

    • @SILCAVelo
      @SILCAVelo  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      So the SRAM calculator works to charts created in the 1970's by a guy named Frank Berto who determined '15% drop' to be the ideal loaded tire deformation. They then use those calculations with a filter applied that bend the values down as they approach 72psi. Our calculator is based on thousands of field testing data points with real athletes on real surfaces, where we use Chung/Virtual Elevation testing to determine what pressure provides optimal Crr.. our calculator fits curves to all of these data points to allow for interpolation in between them, and we do not modify the calculations at all for any rim or tire pressure limitations which is why we say that if the calculator tells you something too high, then you need larger tires. Also, be sure to measure the tires.. all other calculators sort of guess at actual width from the sidewall marking and rim inner bead width, but can be off in terms of actual measured width by 3-5mm.

      On a group ride aero only matters when you’re on the front. So aim for optimal pressure . Even when you’re riding in front another person on your back wheel will also reduce the drag on you. So aerodynamic benefits only really matter when you ride alone. Doing yoga or stretching so you can ride comfortably with your body lower probably matters more than any aerodynamic gear you can buy. But that’s the boring answer. Buy the things you want and enjoy life. 😊 I waited two years to buy my Canyon before they came with a color I really wanted - racing green.

      Many modern wheels have made it nearly impossible to hit the rule of 105 and hookless rims make it actually impossible unless you weigh 100lbs. I'd shoot for as close to 105 as you can get, in many cases this will be 100% or equal rim and tire width, and then optimize your pressures. If you have money to burn check out my favorite setup, the 3T Discuss 45/40 with hooked 29mm internal bead width, with 32mm GP5000's that actually measure out at 35-36mm when inflated on that rim.. looks like a motoGP wheel at first, but the aero is phenomenal as is comfort and road feel..
