How to setup tubeless tires – five quick and easy steps from adding tubeless sealant to first-time inflating

Tubeless gravel setup with Challenge gravel grinder tires and muc off valves

Firstly, I'll confess I'm no mechanic. I've ridden bikes all my life but have never been one for tinkering with my bikes. So switching my gravel bike to tubeless setup seemed a potentially daunting task. However, I made the switch a few years ago after a triple puncture day meant a long walk home and I have never looked back. All my bikes are now tubeless and to date have never had a flat. It's probably the cheapest, easiest and most effective upgrade you can do to your bike.

So even if, like me, you're not the most gifted in the workshop, it's easy. Having looked around at the various guides available, to me it seems most people make it sound more difficult than it is, so read on for layman's terms, simple and almost guaranteed five steps to success with a tubeless setup.
