I have had a pair of 45North tires on one fat bike (a Skookum) set up as tubless for a few years now. I love the rims and wheels (HED setup) but have been underwhelmed by the Flowbeist. This is the second one to suffer a leak that the sealant can't keep up with. A great tire for loose conditions and snow, but sucky for tubeless setups. My second one got bad leaks within 200 miles of riding but had loads of tread left. Rather than try and warranty it and get another crappy Flowbeist, I think I will just put a tube in and run it that way. I know you weight weenies would cringe at that but all I need to do is push a bit more poop out in the am to make up for it. No big deal. The tire name should be changed to Blowbeist instead.
