| ![]() Good job maadi Lovely post. But the actual fixation of the plug could've been done in more detail. |

But Hemanth, your point #1 is going to be difficult since almost always a tubeless tyre loses air gradually only. I think the best way is to observe the tyres daily and if a particular tyre keeps losing pressure every few days then it should be removed for inspection. Quote:

| ![]() Thanks Isaan Singh Tyrewalla - that was a neat guide. This job is so easy its scary. I remember when I had a puncture in my bike tyre and took it to the tyreshop (after filling it with tyre-sealant foam) - the guy just walked up to the bike, pushed Tool 1 in a few times, then brought the sealant and pushed it in with Tool 2 before trimming the extra off. I wasnt too sure I wanted to ride the bike with such a quick repair job!!!! |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Ishan, thats a neat guide. Something that was so obvious, no one cared to learn/teach so far. Just to add to your guide, it is better to fix a puncture with at least half-the regular air-pressure on the tyres as it gets rigid without any pressure and it becomes very hard to insert the smoothening tool and even harder to insert the plugs. I have noticed it at my tyrewallah's. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Awesome guide Ishaan. I have always had the tubeless tyre repair phobia which is why I am still wary of moving to tubeless (or should I say was). You have opened my eyes and now I am ready to get tubeless on my ikon . Tyre Bhagwan ki ....Jai ![]() |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Ishaan - excellent guide. +1 for sticky. Let me try to answer this question: Quote:
![]() Actually it is two halves of the eye, with a narrow slit in between. After you thread the needle and push the sealing thingie into the tyre, you twist this tool 90 degrees. This causes the gap between the two halves of the eye to expand enough to be pulled out, leaving the seal in place. Hope this helps. Cheers, Rajan | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() What is the expiry date of those strips ? ![]() I mean if I don't use the strips for about a year, will it lose its "stickyness" ? |
