First time using tubless, Conti Mountain King Protection 2.4 on Stans Flow EX. Did a 18km trail centre ride and must say whilst still getting used to the way the new bike and tyres ride I did notice a distinct difference. Whether this is down to the new bike or the difference in tyres and tubeless set up remains to be seen. But I like what I feel ‘underwheel’.
That having been said I have noticed that the tyres do seem to lose air quicker than tubes. I noticed that they were quite soft the day after first use and now, the second day after use, are very soft and almost ‘flat’. I wondered if this is normal for tubeless, I could leave my inner tubed tyres for a week and only lose 3 or 4 psi.
Maybe I haven’t put enough sealant in? Or are Conti’s hard to seal? The seat on the rims looks fine and they ‘popped’ quite convincingly when first pressurizing them.I’m concerned that I may lose a couple of psi over a half day and even more over a full days riding.
What are your thoughts, chaps?
