Rear tyre has started leaking air all over the place, little bubbles are coming out, shouldn't the sealant sort these out?
The tyre itself has loads of tread but does it mean the sidewalls are knackered or does it need more sealant?
Advice appreciated 🙂
I've got a continental tyre that leaked through the sidewalls the tyre sealant sorted this out.
It was a new tyre. It was a non tubeless version and had a very thin sidewall.
Take the wheel off and do the 1/8th turn and shake.
If it was fine before, but leaking now, i'd say new sealant time!!
Thank you for your replies..will hopefully sort tomorrow.
Time for an inner tube.
Too many things it could be, have a look inside, see if there's sealant.
It sounds daft but after advice on here I got some kids' glitter, it does help seal up pinpricks, and also makes your tyres glittery (and your hands, and your garage...) My conti barons frothed like athgray til I added glitter, then they sealed up perfectly.
Added more sealant with glitter, pumped away and rotated in all directions.
Only time will tell now, so fingers crossed:)
Thanks again
