Had my first tubeless fail last week. Unlocked bike after work, thought the tire looked a bit soft so stuck more air in (not flat enough to have popped off the bead). Got about 10 min down the road and it had gone flat enough again that I almost rolled it in a corner.
No obvious signs of cuts, or pissing out latex so I assumed the sealant must have dried up, but when I popped the tire off it still had about 45 ml of liquid sealant in it (so even if it was no longer sealing a hole it would have been spitting out?).
Any idea what could have caused it to lose air like this? Tire had previously been holding pressure for ~1 year.
