Multiple failed attempts to seal Maxxis ikon tire onto tubeless rim with CO2 and garage pumps  :'(.  Any tips?

Place a tube in first pump to u hear to sit on the rim, then deflate tube and carefully open one side to get the tube out and add the Value and close the tire and again becareful,

Use the floor pump again and go he'll for leather

Soap and water helps the bead grip to the rim and I assume you are removing the valve core to help with inflation.

Yep, left tube in tire all day. Used soapy water and he'll for leather. Cheers.
