Hey Andrew, thanks for writing this article I love my procore, but had to stop
using it for 1 reason and I'm interested if you'll experience it, as well. I
always inflated/deflated the chambers with the valve in a position so that the
sealant would not clog up the valve as easily. However, after 4 months of
frequent use, I noticed that it became more difficult for air to pass through
the valve. Eventually, it was so clogged that I just could not get enough psi
in there. I cleaned the valve to clear the latex and that worked with 1 end,
but the other didn't respond to any cleaning. I still love the benefits of the
system so much that I'm going to use it with new tubes on my DH bike. However,
my day-to-day trail bike will just be tubeless now. I also want to see if
another brand of sealant would prevent clogging of the valves, so I can use it
on all bikes again. I was told by a credible source that doc blue is relabeled
Stans and we all know about the latex balls that form with that brand. Thanks,
again.
