Can it be done? Seems Ive bought a tubeless green wildgripper for the back and a normal one for the front, fronts fine, but want to run the back (tubeless) with a tube?
 
Any trick to getting the tube to stay in and get the bead on to the rim, Ive already managed to split a new tube with a tyre lever after 15mins of trying! :cry:
 
Bit of air in the tube to get it into shape

Fairy liquid (other washing up liquids are available) around the bead of the tyre & edge of the rim will lubricate it making it easier to pop the bead on

Tubeless tyres are a tight fit by their nature
 
Thanks, will have to try the fairy liquid as the tube was pumped up, just to get the shape, had trouble, even with the pedros levers!
 
I'm also using tubeless wildgrippers with tubes, they were no longer holding air tubeless and I wanted to get my monies worth out of them. I get them mostly on using finger power/manipulation and then go and do something else for twenty minutes and then have another go.
