Ghetto Tubeless - Finally, No More Flats?

Two Tubes, One Cup! (If you get that joke then you are a much dirtier bird than I thought, dirty bird!)

Drill rim for Schrader, Schroeder.


0806111317

Stretch a 20" BMX tube on, Stretch.

0806111320

Slice down the center line all the way round, Sharpie.

0806111321

Even out the flaps, Flappy.

0806111325

Soapy rag the talcum off the inner tube, Dusty.

0806111327

Wash the tire bead too, Beady.

0806111328a

Mount the tire, brotha.

0806111330

Get the compressor, sista.

0806111337

Slather up the rubber with soap and water, Blaster, and blast her with the compressor til the bead seats straight.

0806111351a

Deflate.  Pop off some bead on one side, Stan.  Add two measuring cups of Stan's.

0806111358

Wait for the thermal overload switch on the compressor to cool off, Dumba$$.  SH1T!


Blast her with compressed air again until she seats up right.  THIS IS DEFINITELY THE HARDEST STEP, IRENE!



0806111429

Wipe off the Stan's that got every where, Messy. 


Trim the flaps off, Carefully.  Best to just move the scissor against the rim and keep moving...use sharp scissors;-)

Put the wheel on the bike and crack open a cold one, Chachi!

Check her tomorrow morning and see if she's got air, Mr. Confident.


Ride her tomorrow afternoon, Jack A$$!
