Hi,

Bought a Maxxis Ardent TR tyre, running it on Stans Flow rim without any gunk. Tyre slowly looses pressure, need pumping up every hour an a half on a ride. Presumed at first that it was the bead but on closer inspection the tyre is passing air through the sidewall.

Has anyone had any experience of running Maxxis TR tyres? Do they pass air or is mine faulty?

Stans's rims need gunk, and Tubeless Ready tyres (as opposed to UST) need gunk too.

Gunk up.
