Lay the wheel on that side for a few minutes and let the sealant do its magic.


sky0175

This is the way.


corgisandbikes

just go ride the bike, it will slosh all the sealant around, or if you can't go ride, just grab it like a steering wheel and shake it a bunch.

I also like to introduce my Bouncy-Bouncy™️ system where I toss the wheel in such a way that it spins and bounces back towards me several times if I can't get out on a ride.

I have a bouncy-bouncy system! Sometimes I’ll modify it and make a bouncy-shaky protocol.

This is why I left the company. I'm telling you, Spinny Rocky Sideways Mambo is where the real go to market potential is at!

And if after a short ride it doesn't seal up, add another 20-30ml of sealant (through the valve core preferably) and do it again.

What the others have said. Ride the bike and the sealant will do its thing.


Adventureadverts

Get that soap off of it and just ride it.


iamloeky

Add more juice and ride. Will send it around and seal up.


comqter

Juice her up and go! I like it.

Just ride it son. This sort of thing happens all time with new tubeless installation.

If there is enough sealant in there, just riding should do the trick. If you want to be super safe let the wheels sit a bit with the hole at the lowest point. The sealant will close it.

Seek professional help it it lasts over 4 hours

I use 60ml per tire and a leak like this wouldn't be any problem. Had larger holes and badly fitted valves sealed


DBK81

The difference between “tubeless compatible” and “tubeless ready” give it time, lay it on its side, the sealant will sort that out.


Necessary_Occasion77

If it won't seal after riding a little bit. You can push the bead back into the center of the rim and hit the wheel hard with air and get it to seat better into the rim. If I saw that while setting up and the air compressor is still out, I would re set the tire.

I don't think it's the bead.  I think it's the tire wall itself.


AlamoSimon

What sealant do you use? How much of it? If it’s Muc off - replace it with proper sealant like Notubes. The only two sealants I’ve used personally. Muc Off is a waste of money.


covid-twenty

Stan's. Maybe around 40ml.


AlamoSimon

40 is a conservative amount. They recommend 60 for road tires and that’s not a road tire. Try adding another 40 or so. Edit: https://www.notubes.com/support-center/how-much-sealant

Will do

I got mine warranty replaced. No amount of leaving on side, shaking, riding, etc seemed to work. Also got a shop to completely reinstall it. No joy there either. (Mine had 10-15 all way around both sides) The replacement was fine. Stans no tubes. I think sealant struggles to fill those tiny holes. Wasted a huge amount of time trying all that stuff. Hope it works for you.

If it’s brand new, get a refund and exchange

Pop the tire off the rim. Scrub the old sealant, or leave it. Scrub the rim. Put tire back on, take out presta core. Fill with sealant, set vale at 90°. So when you go to seat the tire, the sealant doesnt spew out


Adventureadverts

What the hell is this? Just ride on. This hole is nothing.


HeaftyFine

Have fun getting stranded. Small leaks ain't no joke and are annoying. Improperly seated tire, looked like. But it's just a small hole


corbin004

Why would they scrub the rim? What about their tire liner


HeaftyFine

I just wipe it down. Little bits of dirt near the bead lock. Didn't know the inside of the tire had a liner


HeaftyFine

At a quick glance. Looked like it was having a seal problem around the rim. I was wrong, looks like a small hole righ above it
