    Mavic Yksion pro ust.

    Punctured Thursday, after losing pressure, it sealed. Seemed ok after pumping up overnight and using Friday.

    Saturday I show someone what happened to find the sealant is now leaking. I’m thinking it is really hot, the sealent has melted slightly

    I tried the repair using those sticky cores but all that happened was that the pressure pushed the core out after a while and air leaked out.

     

    What did I do wrong ?

    Wrong ‘cores’, wrong sealant?

    Do I just get a new tyre or not bother with tubeless? Or do I need a better sealant?

    With car and truck tyres I
    With car and truck tyres I drill out puncture and plug. Works easy. Easier on truck tyres due to higher pressure and lots more volume. Mushroom shaped plugs are even better but the tyre has to come off to push mushroom trunk through hole then glue then mushroom head to the inside of the tyre, pressure strengthens seal of such.

    Can you remove your tyre, collect the remaining sealant, glue a tube patch to the inside of your tyre and reassemble?
