There are certain presta valves that are too short for regular presta adapters

It lost more air. The valve core was leaking pretty badly, so I tightened that. There were a few bubbles on the sidewalk, hopefully the sealant will take care of that. Left the house for a few hours, and it held the pressure pretty close to the original 40 psi. Gonna check again tomorrow morning, but it looks like this one is good now. Thanks everyone!

the only time i had issues with tubeless, i noticed there were molding flashes on the tyre bead. Sinnce ten, when i fit a new tyre, i first run some fine sand paper on the beads to make sure they are smooth and seat properly on the rim.
