ebordraw Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Just fitted a Michelin X light to my bike and was wondering whether the forum members would advise running a bit of silicon sealant (or bead sealer) around each bead to hold the tyre in place or whether just to leave as?

t-shock 250 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 What problems are you having with the tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebordraw Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 No problem just the tyre I took off was slipping off the rim at low pressure so I did n't want to be in the same boat with the new one. Just wondering if a bit of sealer was normal or naked tyre to rim was the norm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormplus Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 the tyre allways moves on a tubeless rim,so sealer wont be any good.if you marker pen it from tyre to rim and do a trial ,it wont line up at the end of the trial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so I presume the old one dropping off was down to it's age and it being stretched. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
