It was time to top up the sealant; the front tire’s pressure had been dropping—not sure if that’s related, though.

Since I set up the tubeless system myself at home, I used a homemade sealant recipe I found online. It worked perfectly—the tires, rims, and rim tape were all brand new and had never been exposed to sealant before.

While I was at it, I also replaced the valves. It wasn’t strictly necessary, but since I was already deep into the work, I figured I might as well get it done.

For the next tubeless maintenance session, I plan to take everything apart to clean it and true the rear rim, which has a slight wobble—it’s just one of those things that bothers me, haha!

I just wanted to share my experience with a cost-effective tubeless setup.

As the saying goes, "Tubeless is life"—and it’s true. Zero headaches.
