oldgrumps Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 What can be used to temporarily seal the bead while installing new tire on a tubless rear tire. I've seen jitsie sells a Oring foam thing but no dealers seem to carry it. Old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Lots of air pressure and volume .. Take the valve core out , And try a tie down strap around the tire , along with some soapy water . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Depends on what brand of tire. Always helps to let it sit a couple of days with either blocks or a tube in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyt Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Use a inflated bicycle tube as substitute for the Jitsie foam O ring. Works just a good or better. Inflate it and lube it up, pull it out as the new tire starts to bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
