Will I die?
Mounted etc fine but deflated over a couple of days.
Fired it up again with CO2 and heard a hissing from the sidewall, found the hole and rotated the fluid to that area. Sealed up.
Seems fine now so I'm just going to ride it, but is this a frequent occurrence?
Tyres are Bonty XR4s.

Unless it was spitting goo from the hole, it'll be fine.
This won't stop you dying sometime though. Sorry.

aren't they 'tubeless ready' ie they rely on the sealant to be airtight, so a little leakage is normal.

no you won't die btw

The hole was in the sidewall, and a little sealant leaked out of there.
