Jeepmonkey Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I got a quick get out of jail free card tomorrow and I'm going to head to the coast to ride for the day with some friends. I just pulled my paddles out and one was flat. After I put air in it I could hear it leaking around the bead. Can I use some Fix-A-Flat for a quick fix? I'll get it fixed for real eventually, but not before tomorrow morning. I suppose I could ride with the stock knobby's, but that'll be no fun at all. Ohh yeah....and the Banshee is down for unscheduled maintenance so I'm riding the wifes 700r Raptor....I'm goin to need all the help in the sand I can get. :biggrin: Quote
Jeepmonkey Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Posted October 9, 2007 is the rim bent ?? I don't think so. I think there is just sand in between the rim and tire causing the air to leak out. I let all the air out and was able to push the tire down enough to shoot some compressed air in there and blow most of the sand out. It held air pretty well all day, but it was completely flat by the next morning. I'm just going to take the tire off the rim and re-seat it. I need to get some new paddles anyway as I only have one set to share between my two quads. Quote
