Anyone running WTB Byways tubeless?

I have a set of 650b X 47mm and I cannot get it to seat on the rim. The air just blows out the sides. Anyone successfully run this brand of tire tubeless?

Are you using a compressor, floor pump, hand pump?

I have a set on my Fog Cutter and still going strong tubeless after 1000 miles this season.

You'll need higher volume and/or higher pressure so try a (larger) compressor or CO2 cartridge

put in a tube... inflate.. deflate .. only detach enough tire from 1 side to get tube out.(dont pull on side already seated).put back in the tubeless valve and try again.


I run these WTB Byways tubeless and didn't have to use this method.

I'm using a compressor and got it to work by removing the valve cores and flooding the tires with a lot of air.

Thanks the the feedback.
