![]() ![]() Over enough time (usually months), sealant dries up, too, meaning it can’t travel to leaks and seal them forever. Plus, the valve is designed to seal on its own so long as it’s sufficiently tightened. Yet, if the valve is very loose, the particles suspended in the liquid sealant might not be able to do the job. The sealant in tubeless-ready tires will travel with the escaping air and can seal the gaps around a loose valve. ![]() That’s a good idea because tubeless-ready systems require an airtight connection between the valve and the rim. They next tried tightening their valves to stop the leak. ![]() But, when the tires kept going soft, they started looking for leaks and that’s when they heard the air coming out by the valves. They knew that tubeless tires sometimes lose air, so they just pumped them up. The tubeless riders realized their tires were softer than usual when they checked them before rides. All were sure there was something wrong with their valve because they could hear air escaping there. The other is on standard tires with tubes. Two run tubeless-ready road tires with sealant. The three riders all complained about tire trouble: slow leaks and flats. Feel free to comment at the bottom to share your best tips. To ensure you’re ready to save the day, I’ll explain more about it and then provide some remedies. So, I figure there’s a chance you might run into this issue on your own rig or your buddy’s. If my mechanic’s life was on social media, the mystery I was asked to diagnose and fix would be trending. Three times this month I helped roadies with almost identical problems. ![]()
