And I’ll add to the thumbs up for this - spent 2 hours messing about (literally!) with tyres off, adjusting tape, different types of rubber seals…! Then tried this in my lunch break. 3 minutes and voila! Likely didn’t have enough sealant in tyre to plug it but a good top up and shake around has done it. Saved much angst/stress/divorce! 👍🏻😉

I've been changing rim tape and adding more sealant and throwing tools for days now and this fixed the issue in a matter of seconds. Hats off to you, sir! One other thing I did to help (maybe not even necessary) was to hold the rim with the valve at the bottom to let all the sealant settle there, then quickly flip it 180 degrees so the sealant can accumulate around the valve bed, then jiggle quickly.

So simple and explained without all the hub bub ... thank you! ... I could not get it to leak around the tubeless valve but I going off that impression any way ... loosened my valve and made it leak and let the wheel spin up and reseal it then tightened it back down... will see if after my 80 miles roundtrip commute if that puts this annoying leak to rest not sure how much sealant the shop put in each of my tires but before I just go adding more I'll try this ... as seriously having to add air to my tires each week is frustrating and I already air'd the tires up to 115 psi to ensure they were seated properly before to no luck ... always dislike when I don't get that reassuring pop of the bead seating...

@@Neil.C57510 The valve stem was the issue in this video. The seat of the valve stem didn't have a good seal. If the rim tape is bad it will leak from the spokes. Usually the rim tape will be fine and won't start leaking on its own unless it was damaged in the process of removing and replacing a tire. I did that installing mine last time and I had to take it back apart to fix the rim tape. The valve stem and rim tape are two separate issues unless the rim tape is punctured right at the location of the valve stem.

And if it is just leaking on the valve stem then the sealant will do the rest of the job?, i've retaped countless time, even replaced my rim because of a tiny crack, but air still escapes from the valve stem beneath the nut
