Tire tube addition

Patsdeere · May 9, 2011

I just got my tube to put in my back tire. The tire shop used that sealant to make it tubeless last time. Do I need to take that sealant out (figure could wash it out if I need to) or can I leave it in and just put my tube in and away I go?

Thanks.

From a tire guy, please wash it out.

That is what I was expecting.

Thanks.

Yep wash it out or the tube will be stuck to the tire and at times that can cause the tube to rip open and then you know what happens both a new tube the the time loss to repair the problem

Wash it out and let it dry. Once its dried, I sprinkle a little baby powder inside to allow the tube to move without sticking.

Next question, should I put something on the bead so it pops up and seats like it is supposed to? Or will the tube push it into place?

dishsoap works on the bead. tire shops have slime that they use on the beads.

The tube pushes the bead in place. Then let the air out again because the tube will be stretched near the bead if you don't.
