[Closed] tubelessness.... is this normal?

alpin · 2014-11-10T10:07:35Z

got myself some Mavic Crossmax Charge tyres to go on my Deemax rims the other week. fitted them (without a lever... hard work on my thumbs) and inflated with a compressor. made a nice loud bang-bang-bang when popping onto the rims. filled with each tyre with 30ml of gunk and rolled around for 10 mins before inflating fully to 60psi. left them like that for an hour, checked on them and they were deflated. put them on the bike, inflated to ~50psi and rode around the block. that was all on Saturday. went riding yesterday and needed to put more air in before setting off. have checked again this morning and they need air in them again. is this normal? am i going to have to re-inflate before each ride? seems like more of faff than the occasioanl puncture.

well you'll be pleased to know that after adding 20ml to each tyre, SO ~50ml in total, and stuffing them full of air and rotating the wheels every 30mins for a fwe hours last night they have held up overnight.

think i'm good to go...

thanks for your help and entertainment.
