[#1299548]

Just done an air sleave service on my rear shock. pump it up, every thing fine. When i remove the shock pump all the air vents straight out the schraeder valve.
i've re-openned the canister to check for debris, but all fine. Re-inflated and lost the air again. Any ideas? new valve?if so where/

Could be a duff valve core.

IIRC it's a simple replacement with a standard schraeder valve inner.

If I remember correctly. I sawed through mine.

Should just be the valve core.

It might just be loose. A valve core tool might be handy to just tighten it up.

If you have any tubes that use a schraeder valve then use one of those , been working fine in my Fox float AVA for the last 6 months.

You could always steal the lid off a bottle of slime in your local helfrauds. 😆 😳

Nokian tubes have a valve core remover in the cap.
