I have installed tubeless on i23's, Stan, Bontrager and now trying American Classics. The front wheel seated with no problem but after messing with rear for 1.5 hours I gave up. Any tips I did not think of? I am using a compressor, tried putting a tube in it to seat one side, tried putting a strap around the tire (motorcycle trick) Any tricks? Thanks

Ps new tires

Have you tried using a soapy water mixture in a spray bottle?
 
Mount the tire with a tube overnight so it holds its shape then try to set up tubeless.
 
Are you trying to fill through the complete Presta valve? I have the best luck when I remove the core and use a standard Schraeder air chuck. It allows a lot more air volume to enter quickly.
 
bards tip of using soapy water is a must. i tried to shortcut that once, no dice with a new tire.
mstyers tip works great.
also ive had luck with soap water and putting the stans in before hand. maybe its just good luck to put the stans in before hand 😉
 
I was using soapy water and removed the valve... this tire is a royal pain in the ass! haha.. I will try to mount with tube overnight and see if that works. If all else fails I may have to try the redneck technique! haha.....
