Got the new TLR strip in for my bonty wheel, fitted fine and tyre went up and popped into the bead the easiest I’ve ever had.
Still had some air leaking from around the nipples on the opposite side of the wheel to the valve.
Unseated the bead to see if there was anything obvious, only thing I could see was some dried sealant on the tyre bead so cleaned that up and it made things better but still was leaking slightly.
Just thought ‘fuck it’ and chucked a load of sealant in and reinflated. Heard the hissing but no sealant visible, did the bounce and spin and it went quiet and stayed up overnight so hopefully it’s a win.
