Used 1 inch gorilla tape. Tubeless valves and sealant. You do need a compressor to help get them inflated. Ran a hans dampf and maxis and also just put a magic Mary on as well. All on 319 rims. Watch YouTube videos it helps. Also get the help of someone who has done it before. That really helps. I was glad of tubeless today as had to ride through a load brambles. Well i could have got off and walked but just ploughed on through. Job done.

Thanks chaps. I've just had Gaz on the phone and he's talked me through it and will give me a hand if required.
Fortunately I've got a compressor.

2 of us at degla both had problems both with schwalbe tyres? I prefer tubeless and will sort mine out asap but it was a big surprise when all the air suddenly wasn't in the tyre any more that was the new Rock Razor I've just put on? Threw a tube in and up it went will have a go tomorrow and get it back running tubeless.
