05.Banshee.SE Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 If there's air leaking, there's a leak somewhere...it's just a matter of finding it. Is there a puncture? Is the bead not sealed correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akita8 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Spray soapy water on it and you'll find the leak. If it has small holes, slime works good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Potteiger Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Find the leak with the soapy water, if it turns out to be the bead, break them down and clean them. DO NOT USE THAT SLIME, it is absolute fu**ing crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragbanshee Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I had that problem, couldn't find a leak no where. dismounted the tire and it ended up being the brand new ITP wheel where they welded together from factory. It was a front wheel, not sure about how the rear is welded if it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Wheels Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Half a bottle of that green slime shit works for me. I just like the surprised look on the guys face when he takes the old tire off my wheel to install a new one and and gets covered in the crap. They get pissed if you don't tell then ahead of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
