Hi just got a wheel back from Mavic after they rebuilt it following abroken Hub. anyways fitted the tyre that came off with the same valve and some fresh sealant. Everything seem ed to be ok, tyre inflated easily, blew it up to about 50 PSI to ensure that it seated then let it back down to the required pressure. Went to get the bike out last night and the tyre was soft, any ideas where it could be leaking from or am I going to have to get a bucket of soapy water out ๐Ÿ™

The only leak that I've had which wouldn't seal was from the valve... time for the water test.
How do you get the wheel into a bucket of soapy water? bit big isn't it!?
