got really confused about how flecks of aluminium had gotten past me when I was building my wheels, then past the tubeless tape and into the tyre. Spent ages picking them all off the rim.
You wouldn't have been so confused if you'd ever had a lapdance from somebody wearing body glitter. That stuff gets everywhere and sticks around for months 🙂

Just got really confused about how flecks of aluminium had gotten past me when I was building my wheels, then past the tubeless tape and into the tyre. Spent ages picking them all off the rim.
Really freaked out when I went to get the new tyre I was fitting which I'd previously set up and used once or twice on a Mavic xm819 UST rim, one of the ones that's not even drilled, and it had flecks of aluminium on it too.
Spent even longer picking them off the tyre.
Turns out its a design feature of the Orange sealant that helps it seal holes better! Doh!
