When pumping up it seemed like air was being lost at the valve but in the end the tape was punctured and air coming out of a hole somewhere nearby. With the heat in the desert sealant seems to evaporate pretty quickly too. I’ve replaced the tape with Stan’s and all is well again. I’ve also moved the bike from garage (100+ degrees every day and night) into the house.
The tape that LB provided only covered the central channel. Does your Stan's tape do the same? Seems like an unreliable fit. I've seen more tubeless tape jobs that cover the entire rim bed.
