Are you referring to the OPs tyre or his stupidity?

I don't want to over-inflate the knowledge on Le Hub but OP just pull the plug on this vendetta and listen to what the others are saying.

That little jerk action at the end makes me think he has a very close relationship with his pitchfork..............

That to me indicates it could be that the rim tape has pulled away from the edge, possibly due to a flat or underinflated tyre.

This.  When the tyre goes flat it often pulls the edge of the tape off with it.  Air then leaks into the inside of the rim through one of the freshly exposed spoke nipple holes and the valve hole is the easy escape for that air.  The valve often gets blamed as being the leaky part, but its just the tape that needs to be redone.  

The tyre likely ran out of good sealant and just went flat, like any other tubeless tyre, creating this issue.

Therefore, obviously, Bike Market must burn. :ph34r:
