Will keep eyes peeled for further data points :-) glad you made it today too. Dont forget to stock up on survival gear in case of #fuckingtubeless
nogk-
I've got a tube, a full anchovie kit, 3 tubes of superglue and a pump (because I'm too lazy to unpack it all). I'm going to try and find a new valve today but I'm not sure if I'll use these for the 200k in Wales yet - I'm not exactly confident given their history.
I'd like to find a small container for spare sealant too but that might be asking too much. Maybe I'll just carry my tubed 700C wheels on my back...
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
