Tubeless newb here - trying to set up my first set of tubeless tires.
Have Mavic Crossmax wheels - am trying to set up with Bontrager XR 2.2 (non-tubeless) on the front and a Maxxis Ignitor on the back. Neither tire was new, but neither had much wear either.
I watched the Stan's video and followed his instructions - using two sccops of Stans in each tire - did the whole shake, lay flat thing several times for the last two days.
Front wheel - The bead on the Bontrager was definitely the tigher of the two, and set up easily, but I can still see wet sealant coming out of the beads, and it lost about 10 lbs of pressure overnight.
Rear wheel - while it had a looser bead, the Maxxis seems to be holding better, but I still see wet spots on the sidewalls of the tires. It lost about 3-4 lbs of pressure overnight.
What should I do now?
Should I try and ride and pray these things work?
Should I maybe add some Slime and hope that the bigger particles in the Slime help seal?
Start over with some different tires?
Thanks for any suggestions.
