I dont need water. It came from the sidewall. Everywhere. Just like on the corsa race tlr from some other guys. Look at the other Veloflex Thread, it happened to many. But most people got their tires replaced by veloflex.

Would you say I should NOT buy these tires? I was planning to get it from Bike24.

I know it's a recurent issue, but I don't know what to do...

My veloflex race TLR tyres are in place and I can inflate them up to 120PSI, but they won't hold air more than 10 minutes... I put 60ML of Orange Endurance sealant so far, and when I put the tyres underwater there is bubbles coming from the sidewall iself (lots of bubbles!!!)...

Adding more sealant would be ridiculous since at this point the are approching the weight of GP5kTL. Any idea? Any better sealant?


Thank you!
What wheelset is that?
