Built my new bike, and for the first time have gone tubless. I'm using shimano mt65 UST wheels with WTB Bronson UST tyres. Problem is that when left overnight the rear tyre goes flat. Any ideas on how to sort this? Should I get an inner tube and inflate it inside the tyre to "mould" it into the right shape? (They were folding tyres).

Are you adding sealant? WTB tubeless tires are "tubeless ready", which means that you must add sealant otherwise the porous rubber will leak out air fairly quickly.

Yep WTB tyres are not fully UST compliant. They are only tubeless ready with UST bead but still need sealant to make them less porous.
