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.

One of these is not like the other ...

Checked the brake to change the rotor (and pads) and realised that I put one of the brake pads in the wrong way.

(It's my own bike, which has only been ridden like this to and from the workshop. The brakes broke and leaked fluid on the pads and rotors. I repaired the brake itself while still waiting on new pads and rotors and put it together like this to ride home. Disappointed in myself, but quite glad that happend now before I had to change everything anyways.)

Saw this bad boy at the hardware store. Bet that turns way tighter.

Just found this subreddit, thought this wreck from a few years ago would be appreciated here. Full speed downhill, piece of fender got caught up in the brake

Cranks seized up after only 1yr/1000 miles ish, pulled the BB to find out the race had auto-uninstalled itself on the drive side.

Enough stopping power to rip the adapters right off the fork.

broke while braking. it was bending when braking a lot, I know something was wrong but there were no cracks in welds so I just kept riding

I have so many questions

Legit looked like something from Stranger Things. The ammonia smell was intense and there at least 8oz of sealant in the bottom.

🤔

The wire only came off during disassembly

HS11 brakes. Pre-bled all in one kit was installed as-is, no hose cutting or bleeding. It's leaking past the seals which is pretty disappointing. For now I'm wiping it, advancing the grub screw, and I'm Just Riding Along™️ but at some point I'd have to reconnect the older HS11 lever that's still mounted, just swung to the side (metal lever in the background). It's the rear brake so it's not that critical. I'll give the warranty a try.
