Bloody Control casings. Newish set of tyres wont stop leaking through them, although after being left in todays sun I may have found another source of leakage.
Despite the seepage the Butcher/Slaughter combo is great.

Mine weep a lot. Bike has been out of use a long time but hopefully will stop eventually

I've got the Grid casings. Same problem with the rear tyre. The front is fine though.

Using Stans? My tyres never seem to stop weeping these days (Maxxis, Schwalbe & OnOne tyres) but dont seem to lose air pressure, well not noticeable amounts

True, but I don't need punctures or pinch flats.

Valve base indeed. Left in the sun trap on the veranda. Poor thing.
