Thanks for the continued responses!
Ok, so an update:
I took the tire off... I installed the tubeless valve stem...
Then I infl.... nope. Not even close. My... pump... just... isn't... going... to... cut... it.
So I don't know if it will hold air, because I can't even come close to getting the bead set.
I apologise for asking the obvious questions, but
- Did you put the tire sealant?
- Is your tire tubeless?
- Did you ask why the previous owner didn't run the wheel tubeless despite the conversion?
If all good, you might want to invest in a proper compressor tank for your pump. Or a proper pump.
