In this episode, Travis walks us through a step-by-step tubeless tire setup. He starts by disassembling our "show" tire, commonly used at events and already filled with SILCA Ultimate Tubeless Tire Sealant. Travis then unseats the tire from the rim, cleans out the old sealant, applies fresh rim tape, replaces the valve core, remounts the tire, and adds new sealant. Whether you're new to tubeless tire setups or just need a refresher, this video has you covered!
