The best advice I’ve been given (although I’m yet to test it but it makes complete sense) is once you’ve seated the tyre and added sealant as you’ve done so far. Give the week a good shake and ideally a quick ride up the road and back to distribute the sealant around the tyre, then place the wheel horizontally on something like a bucket or a bowl that will allow it to lay perfectly level and let the sealant sit and get right into the bead all the way around the tyre, leave it for 30-60 minutes then flip it and repeat. I’ve been told - albeit only anecdotally - that this all but eliminates the usual ‘overnight loss of pressure’ tyre problems that sometimes occur.
I’ll be trying to the next time I set up a set of tubeless tyres - would be good to hear if anyone else has tried it.
