After having to retape my front rim (DT Swiss Endurance LN, 22mm internal rim width, aluminium) and cleaning out the dried, but elastic Effeto Mariposa Caffelatex sealant, I thought I'd give the same treatment to the rear wheel. After 16 months of use and adding about 35mL of sealant every two months, I removed about 58g of dried sealant, and also found a slash that had punctured the 32mm Continental Grand Prix 5000 S TR tyre, but I have no idea when it happened! That's at least one ride saved by tubeless!

I'm 104Kg on an 8.5Kg bike and run my tyres at 3.8 bar rear and 3.7 bar front – less than those pressures and they feel a bit jellyish.
