I was having a slow leak shortly after a new rear tire was installed last summer. There are a few dings (yay our potholes) in the rim... thought it may be that.
Anyway, got my hands a little dirty last week and got the tire off, pounded a bit of the ding out, learned how to use the zip tie method of tubeless tire removal, cleaned rim, applied Rim & Bead Sealant and have had a week of holding air pressure. Put on 250 km. since last week. Of course I made a video. First official 2017 video lol. And, Yes, there are a few things I would do differently next time but this is the first tubeless tire I have re,moved and put back on. Got to be 3 decades since I changed a tire and that would have been a tubed tire on my BMW 75/5.
