Go tubeless they said, it'll be easy they said..

Thanks for the offer Gaz, but will be sticking with tubes though for the time being.
Tape was a bitch to get sat properly in the rim as there isn't much give in it, so might try some different tape.
Will give it a bash later on once I've ridden it a bit.

Like others have said the stans rim tape is just a waste of money, gaffer tape or gorilla tape worked just fine on my wtb 45S, hope tech and mavic rims, it's just some tyres are just crop as sealing, maxxis tyres are or have been a doddle with a track pump as have specialized purgatory, but Schwalbe tyres have always been real handful, even removing the valve core I struggled, but I find the 200bar compressor at work makes light work of them now..

Just re seated my Schwalbe Magic Mary on hope rims again , 4 minutes from removing tube to adding valve from inner tube and 2 small O-rings , one either side of valve , and compressor , Lets hope its another 6 months between punctures

Gorilla tape is the hollow mate works a treat I sorted front and back on non tubeless rims with non tubeless tyres out with it .also the trick with the pop bottle and a pair of mole grips (look on you tube ) works great for seating tyres on

Give us a shout mate I'll pop n give you hand if you want 

Take a look at this it's how I did mine took no time at all but use mole grips instead of the hose lock red clips

im still yet to decide whether tubeless is noticably better, only done two rides on full tubeless, but im giving it a good go first before i'll make up my mind.
just a couple of tips from me.
for getting the tyre to seat, fit a tube in first to form the tyre into shape, leave at least over night or better still ride it. then try again. also i use this as a recommendation from low cogger, pump it up to 60 psi with a track pump and take out the valve core from the tyre to allow more air flow.

im going make a similar inflator soon with a fire extinguisher instead of a garden spray.

Got both on with tubes at the moment. Hoping it'll stretch the tyre a bit and help when I have another go.

I notice many times on close inspection, how many tiny punctures I get but due to the Stans, i can go on and it doesn't stop the fun! Another thing is the obvious considerable weight saving...
