Air leak
 
Hi folks :)

I have one of my alloys that goes down every day.
When I had a new fitted months ago it went down in around 3 days and went back to the place I got it from, they took it back off checked it all over and the tyre was fine. Put it back on and air was leaking from the seal between the thyre and the rim. Tyre came back off and was resealed with some liquid rubber type stuff.

Nothing changed :(

Went back there last week, got them to take off the tyre again and I gave it some scrubbing with a wire brush and sandpaper. 2 lots of sealant went on the rim and tyre went back on.

Now it goes down every day :brickwall

Any idea as to what I can do with it? As cant go too far atm thinking it could go at any time :(

An easy fix would be good, but I know I may need to look at a re-furb :cry:

Thanks peeps :thumb:

Dodgy valve, slightly bent wheel so doesn't sit right?

Have you tried a spray bottle with washing up liquid and water water sprayed around the rim to see where the leak is? Should bubble where its leaking air. Could even be the tyre itself?

I done that and found 12-15 leaks :(
Took tyre off and cleaned it all up, hopefully it will ast now.
