amey-
Which part is user error? The valve doesn't seal properly - indicates to me the wrong valve is in use or the valve is faulty. Don't tell me valves 'need' sealant to prevent air leaks. My road wheel didn't need that. #fuckingtubeless
Also, without knowing today's duration, pressure and today's energy requirements they could still be wasting loads of energy for the same speed. This is only data point 2, pre analysis.
hippy
So, adding another 10psi to take it up to 50psi exposed a leaking valve #fuckingtubeless and the fact that they'd not held the original 40psi on the first ride - they were probably down to 20 or so. No wonder they felt slow as shit.
Wiggled the valve so the sealant filled some gaps and reinflated and it seems to be holding more air this morning. Much nicer ride in. I still need to have a look at power data to see how much extra effort it took.
Anyway, 40-50 psi is much better than ReallyFuckingLowBecauseTubelessValveBollocks psi
