These tyres don't say 'tubeless'
Ive tried and there are a few pinprick holes in the side walls which don;t seem to seal well with stans...
Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Rims (enve) with stans tape, valves and fluid.

Thanks

Looks like I'm going to have to go back to tubes...

Same problem with the pinholes. Only one of them though. Seems to need a specific jostle with the sealant every few rides. I'll probably patch it from the inside when I get bored of this.

Mine work. Kind of. Fine for riding but they are sometimes a little soft after being left a while, or flat after a long while - which I've just discovered after being away a few weeks.

Bit of glitter in the sealant is good for non-tubeless tyres. And if nothing else will make things more fabulous.
