Flat front tyre

[H-fred biker]

My bike, 2005 Ridgeback.
Last summer flat front tyre several times after I have rode the bike and it stays in the garage.
My tyre shop fixed the rim last autumn and the tyre´s ok standing still the whole Winter.
First ride some weeks ago, second ride last sunday, monday flat tyre :bang:
Do You recognise this shit ??

I had an issue with my front tire losing air as well a couple of years ago. My BDM mechanic put a tube in it and has been fine since.

Yea, we talked about that last time I had it checked.
Will put a tube in it NOW:2thumbs:

there could be crud built up on the mounting lip. try cleaning it with solvent and maybe sanding it lightly to get the lip clean, doesn't take much for air to leak out.

and use tire dressing on the beads. It sets the bead easier and helps attain a better seal.

Its leaking around the rim more than likely......Wood and Kap are correct

Funny that.... my front tire had been leaking for almost three years.... had to pump it up once a week.... suddenly last year the leak stopped and it´s holding just fine now, weird.

That's because after 4 cans of fix-a-flat the tire is solid inside:lol:
