Any tricks to stop sealant weep?
It's making a mess on my floor

Currently using muc-off which is supposed to help but it ain't.

I don't get why this is a problem - isn't sealant supposed to seal ??

[rice rocket]

Yeah, use a tube.





Sorry, couldn't resist.

what tires...

If they're Jan tyres, you'll be weeping for a while.

especially if it's the light casing.

I had a pair of WTB Riddler's (700x38) that started showing droplets of sealant all along the tan walls. I had Orange Seal in the tires. Pressure didn't really drop beyond the normal amount over the course of a week. I decided to change out the tires to Panaracer Gravel Kings (700x42) and have not seen so much as a tiny drop of sealant on the sidewalks. Not sure why the Riddlers "weeped". The Gravel Kings, though, ride much nicer than the WTB's.

Conti Race King (MTB)
Newish - maybe 6 mos old
They're weeping from everywhere - tread and sidewalls
Tried pumping them up to max hoping to force the particulate in the sealant into the holes but that didn't work.

Re: WTB, my buddy loves them - they weep like crazy from the sidewall, especially with tan walls

IME going for a ride helps to stop that. Spreads the sealant around and helps it seal everything. Sometimes it’s a few days/rides process, sometimes the first ride does the trick.

Edit: nvm hadn’t caught they have 6 mos in them. Maybe try a different sealant?

Not all of these are tubeless compatible - double check the part number.

I mean the WW thing comes partly from the knowledge they could build tires that didn't need sealant at all other than for actual punctures. No tape required, no air compressor required.

If we would buy them. They already did, and we didn't, so we got messed up compatibility, tape, air compressors, and required sealant instead.

Continental tyres seem to have this issue. They'll seal eventually. My buddy bought these and described his experience as having a million pin holes in the sidewall. He uses Orange Seal BTW.

This thread got me curious, so I just mounted two Terra Speeds and one Race King.

And they mounted and seated right up with a standard floor pump.

I'll check in the morning, but they're holding pretty firm with absolutely NO sealant.

You sure you got the tubeless version?

Yup, same

Yup, definitely TR version

I have this going on with a mtb wheel. I just took it apart and the inside looks good but there was almost no liquid inside. Wet to the touch only. A mostly thin translucent coating inside. Its been weeping for about a month or two. The front wheel is fine, same tire. I think maybe the particles in the Stans were expended and with only liquid left it leaked out instead of sealing.

So, I’ve cleaned it carefully, remounted and re-Stansed (new word). I used 3 ounces rather than the 2 ounces I’ve used for years. Bouncing and flipping it around now. Will report as it weeps or not.

I've got Specialized Fast Trak and S-works Fast Trak and Tracer Pro sidewalls weeping 24/7 for a couple of years now despite the interiors having a complete coating of latex

Schwalbe Pro One road tires -not a drop.
