Tubeless sealant that dried up in 2 weeks, so I went back to tubes for a while
Last spring I set up my gravel bike tubeless with some popular sealant, thought I did everything right, shook the bottle, injected the right amount, all that. Two weeks later I get a slow leak in my garage and when I pull the tire, the sealant is this chunky rubber blob stuck to the rim tape, not liquid at all. I patched it with a tube and rode that way for months, telling people tubeless was overhyped. Then a buddy at the shop near downtown Portland said I probably left the bottle open or used an old batch, so I tried again with a fresh quart and checked it after 30 days, still liquid and it sealed a thorn hole on a ride last Tuesday. My question is, how do you know your sealant is still good without pulling the tire off every month?
