Tubeless Tires mess up

    Hey, just looking for some quick advice. Just started to prep my bike for the Great Dublin Bike Ride tomorrow. After deflating tires to bring it on a plane a few weeks ago, the tires are now unseated from the rim and I can't inflate them.
    Too late in the evening to try and get tubes to stick into them.
    Any advice? Getting pretty stressed now.

    If you live close to me I can lend you a pair of wheels. I will PM you.

    I've managed to get the rear wheel inflated but no luck with the front. Might just have to use the commuter bike tomorrow.

    I feel for you.
    I'm in Drogheda, another pair of wheels here for you, if you're close by.

    Thanks, but it's a cyclocross with disc brakes so harder to get wheels to match. Appreciate the offer though.

    take the valve core out and use a few co2 canisters...
    Could also try that at your local petrol station pump
    once the tyre snaps into place you're good to go..

    I've just swapped over my spd pedals to my commuter so that'll have to do me tomorrow. Thanks for all the suggestions.
