W@nted Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I put on some new tires on my wheel set without adding any sealant. However when I shake the wheels I can hear some sloshing of liquid inside. The wheels are fully tubeless, how do I 1) Get the old sealant out2) Prevent new sealant from going between the rim and rim tape?

Probably not worth worrying about...

koukie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I thought these were UST wheels, so no need to tape them?
Wallee Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 SLR rims are tubeless and shouldn't need rim tape unless there is damage or a crack near the valve? Otherwise the valve must have been incorrectly seated at some point for the liquid to have entered the rim through the valve hole. Remove the valve and turn the rim so that the hole is at the bottom. Liquid should come running out.
koukie Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 ..jip there it is, you might have a problem with your valve.
