I’m a veteran of tubeless and have never really had any gripes of problems with it….. till now.
I have some Alex ATD470 tubeless ready rims, that I have tried to set up with some Hutchinson fusion 5 tubeless tyre’s. Not pricey rims but set up a pair previously with no issues.
Current attempt is is with the above, Tesa 19mm tape and sealent. No problem getting inflated and the front is fine, holds pressure no fuss. But the rear leaks air from the join in the rim 😕 so re-tape and clean, new tubless valve and the air still comes out of the join, in just one side of the rim.
If this was a problem with the valve or the taping I would assume air would come out of the spoke/ valve holes, but equally the air seems to be coming out about 2 to 3mm down from the edge of the rims at the join, and I would have thought the tyre sits below that?
Seems to hold pressure till about 50psi then air comes out of the rim joint.
I’m very happy for someone to tell me what I’m doing wrong. Please tell me, my arms are knackered from track pump activity…
