Active Monkey Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 My tubless ( newly done) has a leak. Its a small pin size hole. When doing the tires i saw it... Shakes slime and it sealed. Left bike two day and tire deflated. Pumped it up again and same whole was spewing air. Shakes tire around a bit and again it seemed to have sealed. Why did it open up again the 1 st time and will it happen again? Have done tubeless a few times before and never had this before...
Capricorn Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 how old is the sealant, and what type of sealant?
PURE Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Super glue the hole, should stop it. Is the hole on a seem ?
Skylark Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Pump that tyre damn hard , make sure the hole is sealed and leave it over night.And use stans
Dicky DQ Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Agreed, you may have to do it a few times. Racing Ralph non UST is famous for this.
fanievb Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 There was a thread about this a while ago, specifically conti's
MrJacques Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 What tyres and sealant are you using? I've heard that some people who mix their own sealant throw some glitter in to help sealing punctures.
Vetseun Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Use Stans. If not pop a spoon full of glitter in the tyre with the sealant. Works believe me Active Monkey 1
Active Monkey Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 how old is the sealant, and what type of sealant? Stans and brand new
MeridaHFS Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 My racing ralphs also did this but I've made peace with it and just give it some air every 3 weeks or so..
dirtrider Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Make the hole bigger and plug it . Captain Clumsy 1
Vetseun Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Make the hole bigger and plug it .hahahahahahaha
shaper Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) use a repair patch for a tube and stick it on the inside of the tyre where the hole is. Then redo your tubeless with sealant. Edited December 18, 2013 by shaper
King_Crispy Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Did you shake the stans before you put it in the tyre? Did you use enough stans?Try it again, pump it hard and leave it in the sun.
Active Monkey Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 Did you shake the stans before you put it in the tyre? Did you use enough stans?Try it again, pump it hard and leave it in the sun. Yes and yes.... Pumped to 3.8 bar.... Didnt leave in the sun. What does that do?
