OP - did you get to the bottom of this?
You didn't mention the sealant brand. i had a similar issue with a pair of Panaracer Agilest tubeless-ready tyres + Joe's sealant. Came to a point where I would lose 20psi within one day. No sealant leaks anywhere though. I slowly dunked the wheel in a basin of water and could see bubbles seaping out from the tyre wall as if it was porous. Topped up the sealant but it did not make any difference. I couldn't be bothered trouble-shooting further (life got in the way). Switched over to GP5K STR + Orange sealant and it's been running flawlessly. |

If still no, I'll remove the tire and start over, after inspecting wheel and tire. I've been using Orange sealant for about a year. One interesting twist...when I first added sealant I was at the end of a 16 oz bottle of sealant. I mostly got foam rather than liquid. Tire went flat (d'oh!). I added another 2 oz from a fresh bottle...and used the same on the rear tire, which has held air properly.

This depends on the tire, but some tires need to flex and let sealant into the casing, which no amount of spinning will accomplish.

By the way: I think 2oz of sealant is not enough for a 45mm tire.

Dunk in water, as others said. Watch for bubbles. It's easy!

And then what do you recommend?

Once you find the bubbles, you can solve the problem. Fixed!
