refitting tubeless tyres
As our trans african trip start in just a few days, we have had a rather indepth couse in tyre repair at Norways largest tyre supplier. When it came to reseating the bead on our tubeless Michelin XZY, we tried the "lighter fluid" method as mentioned in Chris' book. It worked so well, that the guys working at Vianor, the tyre company, seriously began talking about putting it to use in the field for themselves.
It was increadably simple, with a quick spray, a buring piece of paper on a stick and a bang that sounded like a small nuclear device going off, the tyre was seated and everyone was happy.
Thank you again Chris for all the info in Sahara Overland that has helped us prepare for our trip.
