Damn - my rear tyre has deflated overnight (the one using Gaffa tape)... pumped it back up and wiggled it and seems OK. Gonna ride it later and see how it holds up.

Any ideas why this may have happened?

mine lost air for a few rides, then seemed to just settle down - chuck a bit more sealant in and make sure the valve is tight.

Stop been tight, buy a Stans kit.

And often you get plenty of 'bubbling', eventually a seal will be obtained.

60 quid, fine if you have the money, but there are more cost effective ways to try it out...

Has anybody tried self-amalgamating tape rather than duct tape? It seems like it would be ideal but maybe someone here has already tried it.

I have access to miles of the stuff & have thought about it but you'd ideally need wider rolls than the usual 20mm & you'd have to leave it a day or so - somewhere not too cold
It'd also be a bit of a pain peeling the backing off & applying it

I may give it a shot though

Mark Datz says WTF in a post. Surely the greatest irony in the history of STW?
