Of. I could have sworn you started a thread about pictures and tyres not holding pressure.
up to now. The rear (and four other pairs of wheels & tyres) is holding air and sealant just fine.
the longer you cycle commute, the more you learn.
2 things i learnt were, long full mudguards are awesome. and proper tough heavy tyres and tubes are the way to go.
Schwalbe are without a doubt the best to provide the correct tyre for cycle commutes.
Nope, Continental. 😜
Seriously though, it's dependant, I don't ride over the contents of a bottle bank so don't need Schwalbes stupid heavy reinforcement. Duranos are lovely if you have the roads for them though.
SKS Longboards are a game changer though.
Time to pump it up & put in in the bath so you can see the bubbles coming out of it.
Obviously the 1x12 drivetrain. Switch to 3x8 and tyre will be fine.

Schwalbe are without a doubt the worst tyre i've used to commute. Strange.
I know you were all on tenterhooks, wanting to know how my commuting was going, if it was going, or if the bike was thrown in the Leeds Liverpool canal in a fit of rage.
No problems to report. The additional sealant in the tyres is doing the trick and they are staying inflated, with no issues over the last month.
Obviously such an achievement is worthy of reward, so I have freed the Sequoia of the burden of a front mech and all gear cables, upped the brake piston count and added a carbon crank and some electricity 😁 courtesy of my spares box and the cycle to work scheme
Obviously it will now be bullet proof and nothing will ever go wrong again.

Brown bar tape and saddle and that other colour, the colour on the frame, forks, and stem, the frame bag and top-tube bag combo, the weird pointy seat tube... it's all a bit much, it's overpowering. There's no other way to say it but that top-tube bag is offensive to my eyes, I think if that goes I'll be happy 🙂 edit: replace it with a rear rack obviously.
