I'll also pass on that it's helpful to position the valve stems at the 5 or 7 o'clock position every time you park the bike; this allows the valve stems to drain, putting off clogging issues, etc.
lol, strangely enough in the 8-9 years that I’ve been using tubeless I’ve never thought of parking my wheels with valves in any particular position but it makes sense!
Funnily enough, I decided to wash/lube the bike yesterday. We’re coming into our hot season and since I had the time I decided to rotate my front tire to the rear which I basically never do. Of course, both tires were completely dry of sealant, I think the last time I added was about 3-4mths ago but I probably didn’t put much in and it’s been pretty warm here as of late.
