Ready to go tubeless

[steveindenmark]

Fair weather cyclist has took the hump about my post and blocked me Even though the OP thanked me for my contribution. Im sorry everyone on here does not gain something from everything I post. But thats life.

I've not contributed either and I would consider myself fairly experienced and proficient on setting up tubeless on a road bike. There's plenty information here and on other threads and there's no point in repeating myself.

Looking at this, he’s no expert either?!

Its a CC "thing". People replying "you don't want to do that" and ignoring the OP's question.

You just have to get used to it.

That particular poster just puts anybody who disagrees with him on ignore, and feels the need to validate it by telling everybody.

And is often quite rude about it

 

[Alex321]

You said it. Some introspection please, and respect for other posters like @vickster @steveindenmark @kingrollo @Ming the Merciless @Drago @figbat @I like Skol et al. In fact perhaps you would share the list of those you have on ignore so we can tell whose posts you haven't been able to benefit from?

The odds are he won't have seen this, as you post enough that you are probably on his list (I know I am)

Sorry I failed to namecheck you, Alex! Here's hoping; FOMO motivation.
In other news: well done Tom, world champion!!

Anyone thinking tubeless are the land of milk and honey should check out the other thread where someone has spent more time asking how to get tubeless tyres to seat on their rims than I've spent fixing punctures in the last ten years.

If you had read the thread, or better if you were able to understand the thread, you would have realised it was all due to poor technique/lack of experience in tubeless conversion rather than a fault in the tubeless system itself.

Don't waste your time thinking about a reply. I won't see it anyways.

I thought I was special!

Don’t use WD40 , someone did it for a laugh and it wasn’t pretty.

Some would say we are all "special" here

Yes but despite stalking research I couldn't find you singled out for special special! I do hope I'm justifiably ignored.

He offered an opinion about tubeless and not about the rainforest. Not sure why you flew off the handle. And now the tantrums and petty childlike retorts. And you are not even the OP.

If someone asks where to do a tummy tuck, it is appropriate for comments and advice on not getting one or to avoid it.

It is also a given that those who have done one will feel precious about it and might even turn emotional when others discourage it. It is part and parcel of any forum or discussion.

Oh, he put me on ignore when I wouldn't accept that the phrase "tubeless ready" could only have the meaning he wanted it to have.

+1 for TESA 4289 tape, its much better than Gorrila tape, Gorrila tape woks but is terrible stuff to remove, make sure the tape is right across from inner wall to wall a bit up the sides is OK but it's not a must.

Put your advice to the test and your very accurate
Put black gorilla tape on rims but left tyres off ..then I mailed there tech dept to ask if the tape was non pourous and suitable
They never replied to this so after about 3 weeks now I have removed the gorrila tape
The tape came off in one go but a fair amount of residue left over to clean off with brake cleaner
I guess it be awful to remove after it's been on a while
Never got to test if the black surface materials of gorilla tape does not wear away allowing sealant to deep through

Thanks for your initial input about gorilla tape

And also on your advice
I used the tesa tape 4289 which seems ok and very sticky no issues as yet
Another top tip I read about and done was
At the valve hole it's common to cut a X in with sharp knife
In plastic tapes like tesa this cut can migrate over the months
So I warmed up the sharp bradawl
And melted a hole for the valve
Some good advice there from you in what can be a trivial and frustrating thing to accomplish

And to wrap this up (need to read the thread for context) I'm afraid @fair_weather_cyclist put so many chatters on ignore that they disappeared up their own orifice and was never seen again.
