January 2, 200917 yr So my next question, do you need some sort of special glue type stuff to put the tyre back on to seal it around the bead?? how do you find/fix the puncture?? Its best to find the punture before you take the tyre off the rim . you don't need gule as the rim has its own design to keep your tubeless tyre on.

January 2, 200917 yr Author Tyre is back on and I've put it in some water and 4 or 5 spokes are leaking air, so some new rim tape will cure it hopefully
January 2, 200917 yr Take a look here before changing the rim band. http://www.sherco.com/wayne/Rim%20Band%20R...nt%20Manual.pdf Also this may be worth a look. I personally have not used it but it looks interesting. http://www.tryalsshop.com/detail.aspx?ID=205 Although it is more expensive than it valve stemless counterpart. http://www.tryalsshop.com/detail.aspx?ID=189 Oh I have no ties with that site, just the only place I have seen those items. May be able to get same items elsewhere Edited January 2, 200917 yr by ZIPPY
January 3, 200917 yr Its a tubeless tyre just the same as your car,so it just needs refitting. Have you found the puncture ? the flat may have been caused by the inner rim tape leaking, they should seal on their own but many , myself included use silicone sealant just to be sure.(on the rim tape not the tyre) http://www.shercousa.com/pdfs/rim_band_rep...ment_manual.pdf should let you know what you need
January 3, 200917 yr Thoroughly clean the rim band and apply silicone on all the joins, my rear wheel had a tube in because the previous owner couldn't seal it, cleaned and siliconed it now holds air no problem
January 3, 200917 yr Author Would appear I've cured the puncture in the tyre, went to it today and stillhad it's air in! When I took the tyre off the second time round I basically did what you said to do with the silicone but I used liquid rubber, from a bike puncture repair kit. Also gave the rim and tyre a good clean. hopefully it will stay sealed! Thanks everyone to your responses to this thread, has been very useful!
