Need a little help here....
Was cycling over some rocks and heard the now familiar sound of rapidly escaping air. I'm guessing I was running way too low a pressure and when the rear wheel rolled over the rock it deformed enough to break the seal. It repaired quickly, and when I pumped it up it kept the pressure (to my relief - if it didn't my only other option was to wrestle a crossmark onto the rim).
My question is, should I deflate the tyre to get some more sealant in? I gave it a quick shake and heard some sloshing, but how much is enough? Because of the hassle getting the bloody things on ideally I do not want to touch the tyre if I don't have to.
