These are velocity cliffhangers. I just had them retaped a few weeks ago. They seem to be leaking air from a lot of spokes and such
Could this be something besides the tape?

For the air be able to reach the spoke holes it has to pass the tape *somewhere*. Is there sealant in those tyres?
Seam where the rim is put together with itself?
Looks like the valve tip itself is leaking too
There is likely an issue with the tape, but you may be able to fix with a couple more oz of sealant. Sealant should find those small gaps and fill it in. Not a guarantee though.
Uh yea. Is that a tubeless rim?
This does not look like a tubeless rim
Are those tubeless tires? There is a difference in how the bead is shaped on the tire as well as how the hook is shaped on the rim.
It’s actually been dipped in a corrosive liquid ;)!
I guess a mix of rim tape and faulty / loose presta valve.
My bontrager rims have a drill hole in the side of the rim outer wall, they are sealed from behind the spokes with tape.
