I was told that I could run a regular tire on a tubeless rim without a tube. I tore the bead on my tubeless Explorers and all I've got are regular Python Airlights. I 've got Crossmax XL's and I have heard of people running regular tires without tubes on tubeless rims. They said that all you need is Stans or some equivelent. We'll I just tried it and my tire lasted about 5 minutes. I can hear air seeping out of the bead. Any thoughts? Is this even possible?
Thanks.

Stans stuff is very hard to beat. -
Thanks for the link. I would have checked there but I was in a panic. I was racing the next morning and I was counting on the Pythons to work. I borrowed some Wildgripper sprints which turned out to be a good thing since the course was a muddy mess anyway.
