Troubleshooting
Tire won't seat on the rim
Ensure the rim bed is clean and free of debris. Try using a tire lever gently or increasing airflow during inflation. Some setups may benefit from soapy water on the bead.
Slow sealant leak
Rotate the wheel to allow sealant to coat the suspected leak area. If the leak persists, check for larger cuts or damage. The sealant may need topping up or replacing.
Tire feels sluggish or slow
Verify tire pressure is appropriate for the conditions. Ensure the tire is seated correctly and that there are no obstructions or significant wear. Check the sealant level, as dried sealant can add weight.
Puncture despite sealant
For small punctures, sealant should seal them. For larger cuts, a tire plug or patch may be necessary. If the damage is severe, the tire may need replacement.
