Ugh, the rear tubeless has been failing on my KM for a while now, but itās like a 10 hour deflation, so Iāve been pumping before leaving and not worrying about it. Found out this morning that itās down to under an hourā¦ I guess Iāll make a DIY airshot and remount it this weekend or something.
Until then, dropped my SH off of the trainer for an afternoon appointment. Forgot that I am in need of a dynoāed 700 for the front and that I donāt know how to use the rear stay adjuster to avoid the wheel going sideways and rubbing after a few milesā¦ perhaps these are problems I should take elsewhere, but havenāt posted a pic in some time.

@Salt it might not be the tape failing on the KM tubeless rim, but if you fix the tape, the problem will probably go away

It is almost definitely the thin ass Thunderburt sidewalls and not having slushed the milk around enough before mounting them this last time.

Thicc orange tires wood be hot
Itās surprising what kind of a narrow use case this can be.

oh probably itās the tire, then. i have fixed some tires by re milking them, but the scorched (adhered?) earth approach of retaping usually fixes it, or letās you find out that you have a fucked valve or a chronically leaky tire or a mis-pinned rim orā¦

Yeah, Iāve been re-milking it to maintain the ~10 hour leak status forā¦ well, I donāt own a compressor and, well, I knew this was an issue last February, but am fairly stubborn when it comes to paying someone to do something I know how to doā¦

I realized this morning this bike desperately needs a basket.

Space Horses have tabbed rear dropouts, the idea being that you can slide the axle all the way forward and not have to worry about slippage or alignment. You can, of course, move the wheel back for bigg tires or a very slight geo adjustment.
My guess is the problem will resolve if you use a good strong internal cam skewer.

Youāre welcome to borrow my cheap loud AF compressor for a bit if you need to as well.

have you isolated the problem? Is it in the side walls or is there a hole or is it in the valve core or the valve somehow? he pumps with air tanks work real well actually.
Maybe, initially there was quite a bit of crying, then there is/was a basically invisible pinprick that was leaking and took forever to seal. Not certain right now, just leaving it flat till I have time to deal.
@VT_regularbike thanks, may take you up on that, though I have been wanting to try one of these diy 2L solutions. Le sigh, need this quarter to finishā¦
Have you tried just pumping real fast to reseat? Iām 2 for 2 since moving my compressor to the garage.
