Slow puncture

Post by Mick G »

What do I do with a slow puncture in a tubeless tyre? Been over the tyre with a fine tooth comb but can't find any obvious puncture mark/hole. Suspect it could be the valve. Any suggestions.

soapy water is your friend. find the bubbles find the culprit. also have you let them down recently and got crap stuck in the bead?

at my work we get alot of punctures if u cant find anything in the tyre
check the valve stem move it side to side and listen for air escaping
if there is none u mite have air leaking from the bead soapy water will work but its best to pull the wheel off and submerdge under water this works best :P

Yeah, it has been let down recently so I will check the bead and try the soapy water technique.

Thanks for the tips
