Rode some rocky trails at frederick watershed.. noticed rear tires slowly loses pressure. Well i found why.. few spots like this.. clearly where a rock scraped. Guess i need better than exo+ casing?
I’ve heard some people paint the walls of their tires with sealant and let dry before installing.

Is there any sealant in the tire? Sealant should take care of that.

My tires have done this. Add sealant if needed and ride it. That’s what the stuff is made for.

I’m curious, is it Stan’s sealant?

Normal. Happens regularly, in my experience. Solids of the sealant remain inside, but the carrying liquid can slowly seep out over time in some tires. I just re-up my sealant occasionally and move on.

For reference, I use mostly Stan’s.
