Have you tried taping the inside of the wheel in the ctr over the valve opening in the rim. We have had to do that before with other valves to get them to seal properly. Also avoid slime, it’s junk never had it seal anything. Have had great luck with Stan’s tire sealant.

Also rewatched your video, the hole you drilled is quite large compared to the stem on that valve.    It should barely fit, looks like your calipers were not touching the stem, when you watch the video.

How’s your tubeless conversion working with the sealant now installed?  

Sorry for late reply, for some reason i don't receive email notifications

yes i tapped the hole off video to smooth out the surface, i added slime since because i was losing 1 psi per day, now it does not seems to lose anymore :)

Excellent!  My wheel arrives tomorrow. Strongly debating doing this. Might wait until I get use to the wheel and decide if I’m keeping the Kenda or switching to Shinko!

What exactly do you mean by tapped?
