    anyone got one that doesn’t piss Stans through the sidewall? I love the tyre but it’s doing my head in.

    Got a rock razor I’ve yet to set up tubeless but hoping it goes up easily enough.

    Specialized had an issue with some tyres sweating stans through the side walls. I believe they were exchanging them. My purgatory did it but my butcher grid didn’t. I just kept using it and topping up with stans to be honest

    Have a Purgatory that does it and eventually the side wall wore away enough that it was leaking air.

    I fitted a Butcher and Slaughter a couple of weeks ago.

    They deflated overnight, every night for about a week and felt super sketchy when I was riding them. Threw the bike in the garage over a week ago and haven’t checked it.

    This thread just reminded me I need to deal with it. I bet they’re bloody flat again.

    We are running a couple that have been fine since fitting them. Had a problem with a Purgatory once that was replaced by the shop. Met a guy in the Alps who was having a problem but he hadn’t been shaking the Stan’s up, just pouring it in from the top of the bottle.
    Twenty minutes either side on a bucket like in the Stan’s video has always worked for me.

    Had control casings in the past on fast traks and purgatorys all sweated out sealant. Changed to the purgatory and butcher in grid casing and no sweating. Not going back.

    Never had a slaighter control but I’ve used a lot of other controls, they’re not UST- they don’t have to/aren’t expected to be instantly airtight so a little sealant bleeding is actually perfectly normal, as long as it stops pretty quick. Which I don’t know if it will, here, but usually it does!

    IME pretty much no tubeless tyres are sealed til you’ve been for a ride anyway, some make it really obvious and get covered in white dots, others take a day to go down but in the end it’s all basically the same.

    I had a purgatory that weeped sealant for weeks after fitting. Eventually I ditched it as they aren’t that great a tyre anyway.

    They are shit tbh. Roll as fast as a Butcher, grip less well, clog with mud more, wtf? Must be a market sector thing or something because there’s no sensible reason for it to exist
