Great video Chris! It's worth noting that Schwalbe sealant (and Giant) is Stans regular sealant. I highly recommend Stans Race sealant on setup, then standard Stans to topup as required. Good to see you using the excellent Reserve valves now too!
Very happy to see this video. Spent 20 minutes talking with Grant on Grinduro Friday. He’s tremendously knowledgeable, insightful and really friendly. I’m just a punter but he showed genuine interest in me and my bikes. I admit to using Schwalbe on most of my bikes and it was great to meet such an enthusiast. Too often brands want to extract your cash but he was very informative with tips, wishing us well, etc.
Another great video Chris, loads of helpful tips from the guys at Shalwalbe…Svalalbe…Shvalable…from the tyre guys. Great to hear you say you are still doing Badlands as well, didn’t know if your hand was up to it. Good news 👍
I don't run Tubeless yet on my road bike, but that was a very good video for installation. Have some of those tyre levers and they are the best I've ever had.
Thanks Chris. I always appreciate "official" tips > straight from the Manufacturer(s) mouth. More please if you can. Cheers + Good Luck on your rides/races this summer. (BTW> love my Schwalbes - use both on my gravel & road bike)
Awesome to hear you use Schwalbe on both your road and gravel bike! Thanks for the kind words too! I'm hoping I can do more things like this with sponsors too!
Like the tip about using a patch for the valve, I've used a little square of gaffer tape in the past. Maybe some extra tips about what to do when the tyre wont seat, using a booster (I see one strapped to the track pump) and extreme cases using a strap all the way around the circumference of the tyre to hold it close to the rim (only had to do this with one brand of tyre).
@@ChrisHallRides Compressors scare the sh*t out of me though. I worry that I'll blow the tyre off the rim and they can become a breeding ground for some very nasty bacteria 😬
Just bought a set of Schwalbe One (28c) for my road bike. This video comes in right moment! This will be my first tubeless experience. Quick questions: 1. Schwalbe Easy Mount isn't available in my country (Indonesia), since he said soapy water may become corrosive, is there any alternative liquid to use? 2. Is 1 lap of rim tape enough for road bike? Thanks!
I’ve just asked Grant for you. Here’s the response I got: ‘Easy fit alternatives.... diluted! bike wash is what I have used in the past, but anything that leaves a residue MAY, cause the tyre bead to slip. A bowl with a sponge 🧽 is a good way to apply and get a quick application to the wheel. Tubeless tape wise, depending on what you are using, I.e how thick it is, I'd still recommend fitting two laps of tape.’
Any advice if the bead isn't seated at rim/tyre max pressure? Any tricks? At the moment I'm naughtily just exceeding it till it pings Also any tips for diagnosing tubeless slow flats/leaks?
Ah okie dokes thanks - I thought that trick was just for seating the bead but in fact it seems like the answer to everything if in doubt@@ChrisHallRides
Schwalbe are fully aware that producing tires is not the most sustainable business but they're definitely doing more than any other tire brand in terms of trying to be more sustainable. They actually take back and recycle any brand tires and inner tubes. www.schwalbe.com/recycling-system/
Just a note to add, when mounting tubeless tyres, do not exceed the rim Manufacturer's maximum pressure, that can differ from the tyres max pressure!

This is the best video I have seen on how to setup a tubeless rim - lots of great tips. Thank you.
Thanks so much I appreciate you saying that!
this is literally the best instruction to tubeless. bravo!
Glad you think so! Thank you!
Finally, people starting to pronounce Schwalbe correctly!
😅
What a pro! These people really know their stuff.
Yep definitely!
Great video Chris! It's worth noting that Schwalbe sealant (and Giant) is Stans regular sealant. I highly recommend Stans Race sealant on setup, then standard Stans to topup as required. Good to see you using the excellent Reserve valves now too!
Yep you’re completely right! It even says it on the bottle

He’s a total legend isn’t he? One of the best and always been a pleasure to hang out with and work with
The tire foam inserts help set the tire bead in place for good tubeless mounting for catching the air

Yeah I’m not certain yet my hand is up to it but I’ll give it a try too. Thanks for watching!
Super insightful stuff - thanks for sharing this! New rubber looks sweeeeeet.
Thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful! They really are great levers right?!
Oh yeah, you definitely _need_ that Styrkr bucket hat
😂
Thanks Chris and Grant.....

Wow, neat tubeless masterclass!
So good right!?

Yep using a booster is a great shout if you’re still having issues. They also have a compressor in that van if they needed it

@@ChrisHallRides which pump is used here?
very interesting video thank you Chris
Thanks for watching!
Great vid, some great tips ❤️👌👌🏁
Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome mate👍👍

@@ChrisHallRides thanks for the answer, both of you! Cheers 🍻
was going to ask about laps of tape for road tyres...thanks for the answer
Excellent explanation! Does 60-65ml seem like a good amount of sealant for a 700X42 tire?
I use almost a whole one of those small schwalbe bottles in a 42 tire. They’re 60ml I believe
@@ChrisHallRides Thanks!

Schwalbe do a little soap sponge thingy which works well I’ve found
Ah okie dokes thanks - I thought that trick was just for seating the bead but in fact it seems like the answer to everything if in doubt@@ChrisHallRides
You doing Badlands again?.
👀
Excellent I'll look out for you.
Echter Experte 🤦♂
Yes an expert
They’re concerned about the environment from CO2 canisters but not the thousands and thousands of tires each year that end up in dumps.
Schwalbe are fully aware that producing tires is not the most sustainable business but they're definitely doing more than any other tire brand in terms of trying to be more sustainable. They actually take back and recycle any brand tires and inner tubes. www.schwalbe.com/recycling-system/
@@ChrisHallRides wow, this is great to here! Makes me think I'll move Schwalbe way upr on my list, next time I'm shopping.

Nailed it
Excellent, expert advice here
(feel bad for his nipples tho)
