- Deflate the tire and add the sealant through the valve stem into the tire. (Please use Tannus sealant or similar sealant to avoid sealants that have solvents).
- Mount the valve core again and inflate to the desired pressure. Spin the wheel and let it bounce to spread the sealant inside the tire.
Installation Tips
- Mount 2/3 of the second bead on the time Make sure that the first bead is placed in the center of the rim channel to make installation easier.
- Add sealant by pouring the recommended amount of sealant into the unmounted tire bead section. Please use Tannus sealant or similar sealant to avoid sealants that have solvents.
- Turn the wheel 180 degrees to have the unmounted section on the top and the sealant flowing to the mounted bottom section.
- Mount the remaining part of the second bead on the rim. When both tire beads are installed, inflate the tire to get the tire beads seated. To allow higher airflow, remove the valve core from the tubeless valve.
- Turn the valve to the top before deflating the tire again, avoiding sealant spraying out of the valve stem.
