Neither would I,however cannot agree with the rest of your statement.Try topping up a TLR with sealant out in the middle of nowhere.

Dead easy... take valve out - sealant in via valve body (60ml stans bottle works well) put valve in again, pump up....

 

What's the issue?

I've actually resorted to running with tubes till I can find some tyres for a good price. It's a bit of a weight penalty but working out okay for now. I've now seen the major difference between tube and tubeless tyres, being a thicker and stiffer sidewall on the tubeless ones

 

If you were quick last Friday you could have purchased some Maxxis Crossmark's or Ikon's for R380 a piece from CWC! They also had some Vittorio's on sale for a great price too...

after this, my tyres has gone soft over night at sani...will have to check valves again to ensure they tight.

Clean the removable bit of valve too while it is out - they get clogged with sealant sometimes - Q20 or wd40 or some such will help get old sealant off it.
