Allo,
Tried to fit my Conti Mountain King 2.4 & Conti X-king Protection 2.4 tyres last night to my new wheels (crest rims) with Stans no-tubes tire sealant and followed the instructions as printed on the back of the stans bottle : used two capfuls of sealant (120g) and whilst the tyres inflated easily enough with a track pump the so called Protection sidewalls that are reputed and advertised as tubeless compatible seem to be anything but, tried an extra 60g of sealant inside and inflated with Air compressor (i may have pi$$ed of my neighbours – must remember to apologise today) to 60 psi and sat for ages spinning them as i watched little white beads of tyre sealant leak out and splat against my wall,sofa,monitor,face etc, wandered through to living room earlier this morning and they’re flat, not holding air for any length of time.
Anyone else successfully sealed these tyres with sealant?, i’ve ran tubeless for years on many tyres whether that be UST or normal bead and never had a pair as leaky as this?.
Yeah…yeah….I should’a bought the Schwalbe Hans Dampf i know – i’ve pretty much exclusively used Schwalbe for years but fancied a change, and the weight put me off. These are sold and advertised as tubeless ready on Conti’s website, if i can’t get these sealed they’ll be on the classifieds later as i don’t run tubes.
