  • So the saga of trying to set my tyres up tubeless continues. The front one held air all night and is fine but the rear one just continues to leak air from the bead of the tyres. It is seated on the bead and will hold air but its not sealed.

    I already put the sealant in assuming it was seated as it was on the bead. I just let all the air out, went round with some warm soapy water and pumped it up again to around 60 PSI to try and seat it properly but it is still leaking air from the bead, I can see it clearly now it has soapy water on.

    Any suggestions?

  • obvious answer seems to add some rim tape, assuming you have not over-done that already.
    on another occasion on road wheels, i had the same issue and i started from scratch again. I noticed some irregularity at the rim weld which i sanded down slightly, retaped, reseated, refilled with sealant. tubeless is a right faff

  • Any suggestions?

    Take it for a quick ride. There's nothing like actual use to distribute the sealant and fill those last little gaps.
