Tubeless tyres have revolutionised mountain biking. Offering lower tyre pressures, the reduced chance of punctures and better grip its easy to see why they’re so popular. Doddy explains how to repair tubeless MTB tyres, from the small trailside fixes with fibre plugs, to stitching sidewall gashes.

A few simple items like vulcanising rubber cement, tyre plugs and tyre boots will go a long way if used properly. Some of them are best used at the side of the trail to get you home, whilst others can be a semi-permanent repair to an expensive tyre.

Great video! Just got my first full suspension bike with tubless tires and have no idea how it all works. Feeling much better now. Thank you
Got thorned but the thing had the decency to stay put until I got back. This then triggered the sealant replacement which was WAAY overdue.
Good vid! đĒđģ
Good video bought a lapierre overvolt 2 weeks ago. puncture 3 days later took it local bike shop paid ÂŖ100 to go tubeless cos I wasn't confident week later tyre completely flat again gonna try to plug it if doesn't work after pumping up. Really buggered off…..
Spent about 500 miles on it and so far so good. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA Pros:1. Very light2. Solid quality build3. Fast delivery: It arrived 5 weeks earlier than expected.4. Easy assemblyJust a few cons but nothing major:1. Cheap tin tubes and had flat on first day… but not a big deal. I replaced the tubes.2. Seat is a bit uncomfortable but that's pretty much the same situation with most bikes.3. Seat post is a bit long/high for a smaller size 48 bike – had to saw 2 inch off to fit properly. The lowest setting is too high. The post locking system does not seem to hold well (perhaps because I saw 2 inch off).4. wheels are not tubeless compatible (from what I can tell)
Excellent. A few months ago I got home and patched the tyre from the inside exactly as I would do with an inner tube. It worked fine. I repeated the process yesterday with a second puncture. I have some plus-size maxxis tyres which they don't make anymore. This video shows me what else I can do to keep 'em rolling. Thank you Doddy.
Hi, what was the name of the valves you used for these wheels?
@gmbntech, You mention a roll of rubber and sealant in the video for a permanent boot-fix, but I don't see any links to what was used. Looks like maybe the vulcanizing solution was Schrader tirefix or something part number tfcv-01. I have not been able to find it online. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Doddy, what is that strip of butyl you are using? Surely it isn't just the standard 0.6mm repai patch stuff for inner tubes? Any links please.
Well explained. Thank you.
What thread do you recommend for stitching?
Would be a lot easier to put a tube in it.
What's the stand over height?
Where do you get the tire patch on a roll ? Brand name ?
Do you have a link to the bulk rubber and vulcanizer you used? Everytime I search for anything it just comes up with plugs
Trying to get the info on that DT Swiss valve you spoke about. The one that doesn't lose air when you refill the sealant
I got a side wall a little pebble rock hit the side wall and my tire doesn't want to air up
Do you leave the plug in and then apply the tire patch on the inside. Or are you taking out the plug and then patching the inside?
Can you use two different kinds of liquid sealants in the same tire? Either at same time or one after the other, like after several months?
Can you use an old school patch kit to patch the tire from the inside out. The patch kits used for tubes I mean.
Ty for the info mate
