When we were over in the Lakes I pick up my Hunt wheelset from Biketreks in Ing's, once back home I bought a bottle of Stans and watched a video on their website and read a few how to set up tubeless reports and off I set.
I mixed up some washing up liquid and water, brushed in on both sides of the inside of the rim and both sides of the tyre bead.
Pushed through the valve from the inside with some Stans smeared around the rubber part that compresses against the pre fitted rim tape. Threaded on the washer and nipped it up.
Fitted the tyre to the rim and inflated it with my compressor.
Let the air out and removed the inner valve core. Measured out 90ml of Stans and used a syringe to squirt it through the valve into the tyre. Refitted the valve core.
Rotated the wheel so the valve was at the top and reflated the tyre.
Screwed down the valve then bounced the wheel on the ground whilst rotating the wheel for two full rotations.
Then I picked up the wheel and held it both sides in the middle and shuck it backwards and forwards and rotated at the same time for two full rotations.
Laid the wheel flat for 15 mins each side then gave it a spin.
That was part 1complete. Onto part 2 to fit the disc rotors. The mechanic in Ings told me that the Hunt 6 bolt disc adaptors don't clear the fork leg so swapped one of the Shimano ones from the 650b wheels to the front of the new 700c wheel and used a Hunt adaptor on the rear where there is no clearance issues.
Fitted the cassette and spare magnet for the Garmin sensor and they were ready to go on the bike.
Once fitted to the bike I had to adjust the clearance on the front disc calliper slightly and that was it.
There is bags of clearance on the fork crown and plenty on the rear seat stay bridge and bottom of the chainstays (see photos below).
Checked again this morning and the tyres are still up, that the god! time will tell if they stay that way and how the Stans deals with glass / thorns. More soon after I get some miles on them.
