Mo Murphy Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 The tyre fitters say that one of my wheel rims is leaking air, not a lot but enough for the tyre to be down to 20 psi over a week or so. Is there anything I can use to stop the leak or is it really new rim time ? I was thinking along the lines of Slime or some other leak sealant.

GBMUD Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Some sort of paint on the inside I recon Mo. At 20psi/week you should be able to find the hole/holes with soapy water on the outside. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
