• Blasting 100psi of air into an unsealed tyre full of goo just seems like a good way to spray it everywhere.

    Go on, what could go wrong...

  • This is pretty accurate and still not holding. I get it inflated but there is a major leak between the rim and tyre a few cm round from the valve. I managed to spin the wheel to get sealant into the area but tyre still completely deflated after about 10 secs.

    Multiple attempts later and my fridge is covered in spunk.

    If it doesn't work soon I'll pay the lbs to do it and let me watch.

  • Did you put an additional layer of tape on it?

    Unless you are using a UST sealed rim, I'd try that. Sounds like even in the bead lock the tyre isn't tight enough.

  • +1 for more rim tape

    Also have you tried rotating the tyre to see if it is a particular bit of the rim or tyre bead that is the problem?
