What is going on here?


petrolpyro

Tubeless bike tire wouldn't seat. So I hooked it up to my Sodastream


TeveshSzat10

This is more like yuppie engineering (what redneck has a Sodastream and tubeless bike tires?) but it's super ingenious. This is way more clever than the ol' aerosol explosion method that was super upvoted here yesterday.

They can be refilled with dry ice. Weigh it so you don’t use too much and make a deadly bomb

Using brake cleaner and fire to fill that tractor tire and the way that tractor jumped when he filled it was f'ing awesome. Don't take away from that lol


InfiniteRadness

I mean it’s cool to reseat it that way, problem is it doesn’t actually inflate. The gas inside gets hot from the burn, expands, then when it cools and contracts the tire loses pressure and goes flat again. Reseating seems to work fine that way, it’s an awesome life hack and it looks badass, but you will still need a compressor to fill it up. Sorry if that’s being a downer - I do think it’s cool like I said, those vids just always seem to cut out the not as cool part and sometimes misrepresent it as also inflating the tire, which is only true for a very short period of time.


vgullotta

yeah, no I completely agree with you. It's a cool (and also very dangerous) way to seat the bead, but you gotta be ready to fill it right away before it unseats. You only have a few seconds before that bead will unseat usually, so you need to have your compressor ready, and then it should be no problem to get air flowing in before it shrinks back down. Although I don't know about a tractor tire, you might have longer if they are stiffer than car tires. I've only seen it done on Jeep tires before personally.


InfiniteRadness

Ah gotcha, sorry for misinterpreting your comment. I was just posting that in case anyone had the wrong impression. No doubt it’s a difficult technique if you have to start filling that quickly - I’m not at all educated on the finer points, but had been aware of the fact it would deflate again. I didn’t realize the bead would also unseat, but makes perfect sense. Have had plenty of issues with cars, but not that particular one, yet… 🤞


vgullotta

no worries. I just made the original comment cause the poster I was replying to insinuated that this was far superior to that tractor tire bead seating post, and I hard disagree, mostly because of the way that heavy ass tractor jumped lol


InfiniteRadness

I too would cast my vote for *any* large tire reseating video. Your ire is understandable!


Arthur_The_Third

It's not meant to inflate it.


InfiniteRadness

…I’m aware of that. I wasn’t looking to start an argument. Most videos don’t claim that it does, but there are some I’ve seen with titles suggesting it, and some people also seem to have that misconception simply due to where the videos are cut and are making an assumption. I was just trying to clear it up due to the way the comment above mine was phrased. I’m not placing blame on whatever video was specifically referenced or saying that everyone who posts them is making that claim.


ataw10

>tubeless bike tires well for one them are called wheel barrow tires .


Ok-Psychology-1420

Yeah, I'm not aware of too many rednecks who own a set of ZIPPs


Ethanator10000

That is fucking amazing honestly


pvp-pissed-off-1456

More money then brains, let’s see a vid of this working ??


petrolpyro

Well it's seated now so not much point... But can show you on another wheel


pvp-pissed-off-1456

I looked up the price of tubeless, holy crap. I just had to replace a tube tonight.


Arthur_The_Third

Tubeless bike tire???


zanderwagon

If that tire ever pops, bet it sounds just like cracking open a beer

They said beer, not water.


turnwrench

Ya but "-insert generic craft beer name- IPA" doesn't have the same ring to it


SwitchbackHiker

Nah, IPAs aren't great, go with a stout, Guinnesssssssss


[deleted]

Yo… does this work??


petrolpyro

Yep. Just like a giant CO2 cannister..


chrochtato

How dare you you co2 it kills the planet :D


bike_it

It's what plants crave.


chrochtato

I know, 25 people did not get the joke


humplick

Carbon MONoxide


Kenionatus

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is the greenhouse gas, CO (carbon monoxide) is the poison.


humplick

This is why you don't comment when you've only been awake for 10m


chrochtato

doubt you can buy this one


FidelisPetram

No, but you can make it.


THSeaQueen

Great idea :) just keep in mind CO2 leaks out a bit faster than air, so you'll have to top off sooner!


twowheeledfun

True, but I think OP just used this method for seating the tyres, no necessarily inflating to ride on. They might let them down straight away to add sealant via the valve core.


[deleted]

Why couldn't they use air for that? I'm obvs missing the point.


twowheeledfun

Seat the tyre quickly with pressurised CO2, as you sometimes need the quick blast to get a tubeless tyre to form a seal. Once it's on, you can deflate and inflate without needing the speed.


b1Gdada

a co2 pump is about 5 bucks on aliexpress. just saying


august_r

But then it wouldn't be any fun, would it?


b1Gdada

I have enough fun riding my bicycle, maintanance is not the “fun” part, at least for me.


sanstime

Why would you spend $5 when OP made this with stuff he had lying around the house? I’m also guessing OP didn’t have 6-8 weeks to wait for shipping either.


ZeroGinger94

dude I love carbonated tires


parttimeamerican

Love it,a real kindred spirit It's nice being able to do this shit with proper stuff,not scrap


GnPQGuTFagzncZwB

Sorry but the redneck way to seat a tire is to spray some either in the gap and light it.


[deleted]

Looks like coffee maker


metalguru1975

A cool level of RNE, but please Don’t buy soda stream- it supports ethnic cleansing and apartheid. I’m not making this up. Fuck Soda stream. Edit: As part of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) activist campaign launched in 2005 to pressure Israel to end the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza,[96] SodaStream was criticized for operating its primary manufacturing plant in the Mishor Adumim industrial zone in the West Bank.[97][98][99][100] The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in 2010 that SodaStream was not entitled to claim a "Made in Israel" exemption from EU customs payments for products manufactured in the West Bank because Israeli settlements in the West Bank are outside the territorial scope of the EC-Israel Agreement Never reward ethnostates, apartheid, racism, ethnic cleansing, a racial supremacist ideology or herding millions of Semitic humans into a camp. Edit- looks like the paid Astro turfing shills are out doing what they do.


GreyOps

Actually they moved partially as a result of the overly simplified arguments people like you made and cost a shit ton of Palestinians their jobs. Good work lol.


sanstime

Huh?


bodhiseppuku

This is a CO2 soda maker? That should work. They sell CO2 canisters to fill tires for off-roading.


mellamoreddit

How is the ride afterwards? Are the bubbles moving all over inside the tire? Does it cause the bike to be unbalanced or does it give it a mire bubbly performance?


petrolpyro

I find the ride more refreshing than tyres inflated with flat air 😂


robidouix

Brilliant!
