    Stans 29" ZTR Crest Wheel and Hutchinson Pythons?

    I put set of Pythons on tonight, used 4oz of sealant per wheel and heard them pop at the gas station when I filled up.

    About two hours later, both were flat. Are the tires not compatible? They are UST specific.

    Bad valves? Not enough sealant?

    I couldn't even get the bead of a python on a crest rim with a reasonable amount of force.

    Unless they loosened up the beads, I would guess the tire isn't fully seated, or you damaged the bead if it was real tight. Normally I would say shake the stan's around in there some more.

    I will put more sealant in and give it another shot.

    Gilarider. I had the same problem, it was solved by removing the tire completely and installing from the other side.

    My python does not hold air that well, loses about 4-5psi over 3 days
