So, I made the change and as expected, running into problems. Rear tire is all good, but the front is not sealing.
There are pin holes (3) along the seam of the sidewall. I would like to say defect, but I have taken the bike out a number of times.
The sealant stops the air loss, but half hour later opens up again.
The tire is Schwalbe Nobby Nic 29 x 2.60 Performance line. I googled the defect and found the same problem, but from 2012. What's strange is that this particular tire does not exist on the Schwalbe website.
I used Schwalbe Doc Blu sealant so if it is defective, the LBS cannot say I used the wrong sealant.
As far as the quantity goes, I put in 60 ml as per manufacturer's instruction, but thinking maybe to add a little more. What do you think?
