can you hear air leaking from anywhere? I had a real nightmare recently with some pre-fitted tape leaking around the valve. Fixed easily after I retaped – i know it was taped in a very cold workshop, and it came off in shreds, so even if it wasnt the cold it was definitely brittle. My theory is, this meant there wasnt a good seal with the valve

I'd add another 30ml in each tyre and ride like 5k, should hopefully do it. Unless this a new tyre/rim combo you've not tried before in which case, all bets are off.

How about “read the first fucking post”!?!?! I know you are not @hippy but…

If your tyres/wheels don't hold air - pump them up and cover with a washing up liquid and water solution. Bubbles will form at the point of leaks, shake wheel around so sealant gets to the leak and hopefully it will seal.

30 ml of sealant in a 38 mm tyre seems a bit low to me. (I put 60 ml each into a pair of 32 mm tyres last night). But, if a tyre is losing pressure overnight, I'd be surprised if it's a shortage of sealant. Is the valve airtight, that would be top of my list to check?

Tyres seated, gunk added, ran round the block a few times. Still going flat over night. Add more sealant (30ml schwalbe doc blue in each 38mm tyre) ride longer or something else? Thanks
