I'm sure I saw this on the news page but may have hallucinated it. Anyone know what it is that I'm looking for?

Can't open that link from work. Is it a grey or brown tin?
It was Rotherham Tyres liquid bead lubricant on eBay that I linked to - neither grey nor brown!
We have some at EBC - schwalbe I think.

The Schwalbe stuff is a damn sight cheaper though.
I use GT85
I use muckoff or value washing up liquid.
I use something like this.

I originally bought it years ago for fitting Land Rover tyres.
If you are only using it for bicycle tyres, a £14 bucket like that will last several generations.
I've been wondering if any of the 'patent' options are worth springing for.
Until late last year I mounted tyres dry, then discovered 1+4ish washing up liquid which I can't believe I managed without...
£2.99 and awesome. Huuuuuuge tube. Will last a lifetime.

Last time I fitted tubeless tyres (last month) I just wet the rim strip with sealant and the tyre beads popped in place OK. Soap is a bit slippier I guess, but sealant is possible. You might as well try.
