Out on the MTB today when I noticed the rear tyre had gone soft I couldn't spot any sealant coming out the tyre I thought it must have sealed straight away, so I put a bit more air in and carried on, about a mile up the track it was going soft again, on further inspection I noticed a spoke had broke next to the valve, somehow this affected the tightness of the valve! I can't figure out why this would happen but I tightened the valve pumped up the tyre and it got me home without further loss.
I had to remove the tyre and tape as the only spoke of the right length had a different thread to the nipple, there was a few thornes stuck through the tyre that I never knew about.
