i you popped the tyre itself then i think its rather hopeless, you can probably rin it with a tube until you can replace it [depending on the rims i beleive] or else try to patch the tyre, which in my experience is a waste of time.

Well how do i fix the tire i need to put air in it and use it soon, but i dunno if i need to put sellent on it or what, im not sure.

Did you pop it.. or is the tire just leaking air.. There are patches for tubless tires that you can use to patch holes if that is the problem.

well i literally poped the tire, i mean i can peal the tire off the rim and i can look inside and see where the air intake thing is.

Did you just remove the tire or does it have a hole in it? If you just need to pump it back up, try to get the tire spread as wide as possible so it will seat. Maybe get someone to help you hold it while you pump it. If you have access to an air compressor, it's much easier to do. But a pump will work, I've done it. Have someone push down on the tire to spread it while you pump it. Once it starts taking air, it should go easily.
If you have a hole in it, be sure to scrape the area around the hole well before patching.

No i didn't put a hole in it, but i poped it so. Yeah so like i have some one push down on the tire right where the air intake is and just pump it up?

Yes, You just have to form a seal so it will take air. It's just leaking out between the tire and the rim.

Mavic has directions for installing the tire that might help...

Just use a regular patch, or order some sealant from Stan. www.notubes.com is the fluid I run regularly in my tires. If you can't get the tire to seat just go to a gas station and fill it there. Be careful not to put too much pressure in it at the gas station though.

yeah but how do i set up a seal around the whole thing while im pumping it?
