I know some people are seating tires dry to avoid a sealant shower if it blows off, but has anyone ever tried to lube the bead with sealant before inflating it?
Lube is 100% necessary when mounting a car tire, now that car tires are "the model" bicycles are following, can we assume the need exists for bicycle tires too? |

Yeah. Been there early on in my tubeless journey. I have had a tire blow off a rim, but it was only at 60psi. I had a bruise to go along with the ringing. Also took a sealant bath., because the tire had previously seated and I had added sealant. There was also some damage to the hub from impact.
Just glad it wasn't worse. Like riding clipless, you will screw up a couple times before the lessons sink in. I now double check the Rim and Tire Max PSI. Lesson learned. All part of the fun. Good luck with the warranty. |

70 psi max for these rims, according to Boyd.

For car tires you've got a much stiffer sidewall and carcass to deal with though. |

I wonder how many miles they'll go before cracking and failing at the spoke holes? |
