Heat and tubeless set up
Went to go for a spin on Sunday morn and found that both my tyres had completely deflated??? I run tubeless rims with folding tyres and have never had any real problems before. I pumped them up and all seemed fine though noticed last night that they had deflated again ?? Has anyone had exp with this ? Does the heat effect the sealant in anyway. The bike lives in a brick garage so it get's a bit steamy on hot days but generally doesn't get too hot
Cheers Sam

Unlikely. I had tubeless on last weekends JetBlack 24 and no such issues. We all know it was pretty hot no matter where you were.
is it possible you may have burped your tyre without realising on a previous ride & broken the seal at the bead?
It had been about a week since my last ride and tyres were all good on the ride, doing a bit of tuning last Friday and tyres were still up
My friend used to have the same issue with complete deflation overnight. Not sure what the problem and fix was.
I hadn't rode for over a month due to being unwell. Went for a short spin last weekend and my tyres had deflated to around 10psi over a month without use.
It has nothing to do with the heat or summer.
I would suggest that you have an issue with your rim or tyre. There are many reason why it could be happening.
Was the Stans still liquid in your tyres? I've found that once Stan drops a turd in the tyre it's pretty much all over with keeping the liquid liquid for any length of time..... remove the turd and recharge the Stan's and all is good again for the next 6 months.
Excuse me? Who's putting turds where?
joke!!!

If your turds are white, rubbery and lumpy I suggest you eat some more fibre and hydrate more thoroughly
and get out of my garage! .... sorry if it appeared I was casting nasturtiums
Didn't take the tyre off as yet as the tyre still seemed to be seated in nice and snug, they are brand new tyres so only put them on about 2-3 weeks ago so have just assumed no 'turds'
have formed. I'll crack them and see
