Thought I'd see if my trailraker would work tubeless. It went up straight away so put in a cup of stan's sealant. It kept slowly going down, I put soapy water around the tyre and noticed air was leaking from a few areas around the sidewall. Thought it would eventually seal but it keeps going down. Do I give up or put in more sealant? The rims are ztr flows.

More sealant, slosh about and lay it on its side, on a bucket. Slosh the sealant around again and repeat.

More sealant and then ride it - best way to get the sidewalls properly coated.

Have you ridden it? Most tyres continue to fizz til they've had a ride IME

Try lying them on the side allow to fizz/seep through & seal, turn over & repeat, then top up (opps just repeating what been said above -goes to show it decent advice ๐Ÿ˜‰ )
