      I’d say it is fairly common. I have set up quite a few tubeless tyres and their ability to stay inflated over time when not being used seems to be utterly random to me.

      I have a bike currently that I haven’t used for a few weeks that I know if I go back to now one tyre will still be at a pressure close to when I left it and the other will be pretty much flat.

      I have re taped the rim, changed the tyre and tried two different types of sealant but it still needs pumping properly before use if I have left it without using it for more than a few days.

      On other bikes I have had similar experiences as well. Wheels I have setup in identical ways with identical products have either held pressure or not over time with no real reason to point to either.

      My point being in my experience I have accepted this as part of running tubeless and will always just need to pump up tyres after a period of not using them. Sorry I can’t offer any tips but if you find something that works please let me know.

        That’s great man thanks, I bought a nice pump and I’ll just have to keep it with me more

        If you swap tires onto the other rims, does the behaviour stay with the rim or follow the tire?

        My thinking is there may be minor dents or something…
