I'm a hairs thickness from giving up on tubeless on my Genesis. It just doesn't work.
Wtb i25's with tubeless, originally gorilla tape and schwalbe valves now stans tape and vales. I think in 2 months or so I've had a single week of them actually holding pressure. They were fine last week and now the front goes from 60 psi to 5 in 2-3 mins. No leaks from the tyres but a non determinate hiss from the rims. Rear seems fine and oddly I have the same rims with gorilla tape and schwalbe vales on my 29er with zero problems.
Any last suggestion before I get some latex tubes? I've tried bouncing, changing the vales and tape, more sealant. Over pressure, they're ridden every day, no obvious holes or slits in the tyre. They're sealed very well onto the rim it's self, was a nightmare to pull them off to change the tape.
Maybe I'll try sbc and see what they say. But I'll have to stop to top up the tyres half way...
