MTB Tubeless - what I am doing wrong!

I recently went tubeless on my mountain bike. Used the Muc Off kit for enduro rim widths. 2 wraps of rim tape and then seated the tyres (Schwalbe) by chucking a tube in initially.

Was a bit of a pain as I didn’t have an airshot at the time. Washing up liquid on the bead and pumping hard on my standard track pump with the valve out and I was able to seat the tyre with a bit of bouncing it up and down.

Zero leaks doing it this way so far (I saw some air escaping with one layer of tape before I put the sealant in).

Anyone got a recommendation of a good tubeless repair kit?

The one up stuff - steerer tube kit is the danglies (or pump based if you don't want to ta the steerer).

Amazing customer service too.

I have the edc kit in the steerer.

Thanks for the recommendations on the tubeless repair kits.

If anyone's after an Airshot to help fit them, I bought mine direct from Airshot and it came after a few days. Decent service. Amazon pissed me about with one for 2 weeks or so!
