I’m not experiencing it still, because I gave up on running the extralight casing tubeless, but the issue was constant weeping of the recommended SealSmart sealant through the sidewalls.
I tried OrangeSeal, too, even though I hate that stuff for the chunky mess it makes inside the tire, but without success.
Herse replaced the tires for me, but given that my difficulties seemed to be shared by many other riders trying to run ELs tubeless, I set up the replacements with Schwalbe Aerothan tubes, which are super.
I still have the first set of Bon Jons ELs hanging on the wall in the garage, thinking that if I ever get around to spending an afternoon picking off the OrangeSeal boogers, I’ll run them TPU tubed.
