After reading generally positive reviews, I ponied up for a pair for my rove ST, Alex Boondocks wheelset.
The rear one has gone up with no issues, but the front one has been going down after any spirited riding.
Previously I had Sawtooths on, which were fuss free, just wanted a bit more grip for the winter.
Anyone else had a headache with them?
Set mine up tubeless on WTB Sti25 TCS rims with Stans sealant came out next morning and my front was down. So removed the valve core and added 20ml more sealant inflated to 45psi. Next day they were still inflated and adjusted the tyre pressure and have had no issues since.
There's plenty of sealant in there, but the front one did weep a little whereas the back didn't at all.
Might try remounting it after cleaning the bead.
I had no weeping at all possibly just not bedded on rim properly. Love them on my Vaya but going to give the new Venture 700x50 a try when available in U.K.
Mine burp alot if I run them at anything other than rock hard.
That’s what I might have to do.
Shame as the Sawtooths were stable down to 30psi.
I have the Resolutes on one wheelset and the WTB Exposure on my 'road' set. Both were problematic in different ways to set up, and even when fully seated, would lose air an need topping up every 1-3 days, the road set particularly. After weeks of riding (and with the road set, frequent taking the wheels out and leaving them flat overnight to re-cover the sidewalls) they're now running reliably tubeless and holding air well.
Other forum topics suggest that sometimes regular Stan's doesn't play reliably in road-tubeless set up. And that WTB beads can be a bit sensitive/faffy.
Set up on two sets of wheels last October, first time. No issues since
Same here can run them down to 25 psi front and 27 psi rear no issues
I think I got one dodgey tyre.
Letting it sit on it’s side today.
I use Finish line sealant, which certainly doesn’t go as lumpy as Stan’s.
It's weird, I've found WTB mtb tyres to seat fantastically well, often staying up without sealant when I first inflate to seat them. Their cross/gravel tyres seem a complete mixed bag though, with the rubber thickness/covering of the side wall seeming really mixed - sometimes get lines of little blisters. I really, really wish they'd do some 'tough' sidewall versions of them - even just making it the same as the 'light' mtb tyres as otherwise I find the tread patterns great.
Definitely a mixed bag.
The rear one hasn't lost a psi.
The one on the front is being a problem. Weeping around the edge of the rubber where it meets the casing. My old Knard wire beads went up first time no worries, so I think the skin walls aren't helping.
I could send it back for a warranty replacement. But that would be a right pfaff & there's no guarantee the new one would be better.
Maybe Finishline is a bit slower to seal tan Stans.
