Seating tubeless tyres plastic bottle hack

[bazzawill]

So I just stumbled upon this hack to use a plastic PET bottle 2 valves some plastic tubing and a clamp as a quick and dirty pressure vessel to pop tubeless tyres into place (wish I had found this before buying 100x co2 cartridges one day after becoming extremely frustrated. Of course playing with non rated pressure vessels is not without risk so viewer discretion is adviced.

I always use combustibles to seat my tires.

I use PTFE based tubeless rim tape rated to 450 degs.

I am going to try this. Thank you for posting it. I have so much hassle with tubeless tyres. In the video I am surprised the man can hold the pipe on the valve with that pressure... But still worth a go.
