Here I am like a four thumbed monkey trying to turn a DHR II into tubeless.

Put it on my 823, put in two scoops of Stans, inflated. Held air like a champ that day.

Went out to the shed today, flatter than a 12 year old Chinese gymnast.

Any suggestions? I'd like to run this tubeless for AZ and for Whistler, but if I gotta run a tube I will. But I'd much rather not.

Did you spin the wheel after you inflated it and/or shake the wheel to get Stan coated on all inner surfaces of the tire?

Gotta spin and shake... a lot.

I really thought I had. I'll try again next week

Before my 823's starting leaking air out of the nipple inserts I used to always just mount up the wheel/s and just ride around on the road, field, or whatever you have by your house for a couple minutes and it never failed to seal.

Isn't there a weight limit on tubeless?

 

[Raingauge]

What pressure did you leave it at after you set it? Did you make sure the line on the tire was even all the way around the rim?

I set mine at 60psi over night and then deflate to riding pressure.

An internet rant against Mavic and Stans will sort everything out.

I agree. Always ride the tire around for a bit after mounting it up tubeless.

Can you explain this? 823's have a solid sealed rim and the only place for air to leak would be at the valve.

Was the rim cracked or something? The nipple inserts don't seal the air in...

I hold mine flat by the axle and slowly spin to coat the sidewalls, then mount on the bike and go for a short ride. Usually works.
