Hi Guys!

I've a getho Tubeless on my Kona Satori 29er.

At the moment, I'm using stock Easton Vice Wheels (Non-UST) and Maxxis Ardent 2.25 Rear and 2.4 Front both folding.

The front wheel is working as a charm, no leaks! However, my rear tyre is leaking on the sidewall only. The bead is correctly seated and the rim is sealing well.

The thing is, why only the rear tyre is they are both the same brand and model, just different sizes.

Pressure is 25psi on front and 35psi rear.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
Andre

    Have you left the wheel for a while on each side after turning to spread the sealant across the inside of the sidewall?

    As above....

    I had a very similar problem - took 24 hrs to settle down and stop leaking

    If they are not TR versions then they are a bit leaky. Trs, and in particular EXO TRs are normally 100% reliable, so maybe you have an issue if its an EXO TR version. It will seal. Let some pressure out to help it along (so theres less force pushing the sealant out - it will seal up better).
