I assume it's a taped tubeless setup.?
Good chance your tape has come loose or ripped somewhere causing the leak.
Re-tape the wheel.
My first thought too, but there is no tape, it is a sealed... the only hole is where the valve goes in... Which is why I am stumped... that means the air is escaping where the valve is, and then filling the cavity, and out where the the hole is...
Evening folk, have an odd issue that I trying to resolve.
Fitted a new tyre on my Easton EC70 back wheel rim, and air is leaking out the little hole on the side of the rim (See Picture) I also noticed a white watery liquid coming out (I assume it was water and sealant mixture) comeing this area and where the valve is....
Any suggestions?
I replaced the tyre because it was continuously going flat (Slowly), but I assumed is was due to a sidewall puncture that had sort of sealed... and I assumed that this was the cause, hence replacing the tyre.
Update, found an engineering company to create the adapters... now just need a sample... So if someone can assist, it would be greatly appreciated...
Ok, This is my challenge, the Thru Axle Adapter that is included in the whisper drive is missing. I have contact local agents, no stock. Emailed JetBlack HQ in Australia, 6 weeks...
The other option is to get someone to make it, but need the originals so that I have the correct measurements...
So if I can can borrow the Thru Axle adapter kit from someone, I can then see if I can get an engineering firm to make me a set...
Should be easy to make...https://www.jetblackproducts.com/products/JBT-79
Just need the specs...
PS I send Jetcblack HQ an email, and ask if they would be willing to send me the specs... but will see how that goes..
Perhaps you can find the info on their tech centre and in the manuals https://www.jetblackproducts.com/support/info-centre
clearly a popular trainer ????
Need some assistance in replacing the Thru Axle adapter...
Shot bud, Also found https://www.drakensbergtrails.co.za/
They seem to have a few cut out trails, but will have to figure out if I can cycle there, I try use Strava or Garmin Connect
Thanks, Will give feedback when I return... in one piece 
Going next week to Quantini next week... Looking to do a ride or two... If you have the routes that would be great... I going to see what I can find.
He is literate!
Hahaha
Only Sometimes... My wife still doesn't understand why I need another bike... 
Thank you...
I think he was saying "huh" to the almost unreadable grammar and spelling, I know that's the reaction I had when I was trying to decipher the post! I agree with what he is saying though.
Smile... Been one of those days and was doing the post on my phone.... What I was trying to say...Don't buy stolen stuff, you are feeding criminals... and by buying stolen stuff, you are perpetuating crime. If no one bought stolen goods, it wouldn't be profitable to steal... (Hopefully that was better....)

Trying to get some feedback on what you hate about bike racks and what you love?
I have a Geoff and Thule rack... Geoff connects onto Towbar, and Thule clips onto the hatchback... Been looking at different options..
Hate -
Damages bike frame..
Mission to put on...
Security (Both Dont lock)
Love
Carries my best friend (MTB)
Your thoughts? Is there even a perfect rack (and NO... Not discussing her ) What would you consider a perfect rack?
Emmanuel is a stand up guy... would recommend ace cycles with confidence and know that the person would get excellent service and a good deal..

Done a couple of 55km and 40km this year to qualify. In comparision, it certianly could have started earlier, being a noob, heat kicked about 40km mark... and wiped me for the last climb.
Awesome waterpoints in comparison to the other races i have done. Fair amount of Marshals and ER24 around.. i didnt think the route was bad... a good combination of single track, jeep tracks and climbs... all in all, will be back next year. Hopefully prepared better...for noob that is
Yip... 100% agree with that...
I referring more to the support from the organizers, not the fact that you cant or shouldn't ride it. I was on a MTB... and it is somewhat slower that road bikes…
Oh, I wouldn't quite agree with that. On Friday I bought my first road bike ever, on Saturday I took it for a short 10 - 20k spin and on Sunday I rode my first road race ever - the 98km (91?) one - and found it very enjoyable. [emoji4]
And to be clear, Saturday was the first time in.my life I rode a road bike. Well, since I was a kid 40 years ago, anyway.
Not a race for laggards or newbies... R511 was hairy to say the least with the cars and bikes... and no shoulder to ride on. I do get that full road closure is difficult... but at least have some indication that there is a cycle race on... the only indication was at the 45km mark... a lady with a board... i certianly felt alone out there with the laggards. Every now and then a marshall would pass... in all honesty, the reason for doing this race was because of road closure...
Not to mention that when i did finish.. organisers were busy packing up... had to look for the guy that was handing out medals...and I know there were a few guys still out on the road...
You need to look around for 2nd hand bikes. Having spend a couple of months looking, I noticed that a few sellers don't really understand the resale market... hence over priced.
Here is a couple that I have seen (If I see anything else I post it)

Find what you like, and then focus on those. I went from Scott to Merida to Silverback and back again.... and eventually ended up with a Lapierre 929 Ultimate with Brand new frame... and loving it...
Ok... Thanks Guys

Ok, So couple of lessons... that I have learnt
Ok, so the valve is leaking... only reason it comes out the little hole, it is the path of least resistance, when sealing the little hole, the air comes out the valve... So, have put some sealant in the tyre... Let see if Stans can sort out the leaking valve...
However, its still a work in progress... hopefully I am right, and its a valve issue and not a rim issue...
