slow puncture
Hi All
I am losing about 0.2 bar of pressure every week on the same tyre. I presume it is a slow puncture/leak. What is the best way to check this? Do you think the valve is the likely culprit?

local tyre place should be able to sort this. Where are you based.

Is it an alloy?
Sometimes they can leak or become porous.
Had a similar problem which i fixed by having the tyre removed, then painting the inside of the the wheel with Hammerite

I've had a few of these recently. Could be a screw or nail you can't see unless you get the wheel off. Could be leaky valve or cracked alloy. I have just had one where there was so much gunk inside the rim edge - build up of old stuck on rubber etc - that the tryre doesn't seal properly. Local tyre place, an independant, took tyre off and power sanded the rim gunk and refitted. Cost me £15.
