Leaky tire issue solved

So I have been running tubeless tires on my mountain bike for the past few years. It is nice just to inflate before a ride and get out on the trail. I make a few adjustments to the PSI depending on the trail type I’ll be riding. 

A few weeks ago, I was losing pressure on my ride, about half way through. There was no obvious punctures in the tires and they held air fine to begin with. 

After investigating a little deeper,  the valve was what was giving me problems. Sure enough I took the valve core out and the tubeless sealant inside was causing issues not letting it seal all the way. A quick and easy solution was to remove and replace the valve core. 

BOOM, fix is done!  While I was at it, I added three fresh ounces of sealant and inflated the tire. 

I was able to get out on the trails again this past weekend and the tires I replaced both valve stem cores are holding air just fine again. 

You can see in the photo, the new valve core on the left and the older one on the right. 

The AerGun X-1000 with AerTight Head

Before heading out on any ride, checking the tire pressure is always part of my pre-ride check. Properly inflated tires are a must. 

The AerGun X-1000 with AerTight head, is a pump that is well designed and built to last. It’s versatile in its ability to fit both Presta and Schrader valves without the need of any special adapters. The steel constructed high pressure floor pump can obtain a pressure of 160PSI or 11Bar.  The large pressure gauge is easy to read and dial marker helps, while inflating your tires to the correct pressure.  The pump has a 36 inch or 3 foot flexible hose. A bleed valve to release excess pressure is also on the pumps head. The AerGun makes inflating anything effortless and comes with a ball needle or bladder needle, that conveniently attach to the hose for storage.  Get rid of your valve converters as the auto adjusting AerTight head has you covered. With my road bike tubes using Presta valves and mountain bike using Schrader valves the pump is very nice. With the ball needle and bladder needle pumping up the kids basketballs, footballs or pool inflatables it's convenient.
