Had 2 Dunlop scootsmart tyres fitted to some scootRS tubeless rims yesterday , I used the bolt in valves supplied and the buggers are leaking air around the rubber valve seats , had a word with the tyre fitter who suggested filling the tyre with green gunk ???
Seems a sh*t idea , but as the tyres are a pig to get off the rim any idea what I can do ??

I have a couple of ScootRS wheels that I fitted Bridgeport valves to. They're bolt in type and you need to remove a small portion of the rim above the valve hole and ensure the area where the valve sits is flat (file it) but they've not leaked at all.
