    Just put on a tyre and rimpact. Everytime I pump the tyre up all the air releases through the drain hole?
    what to do???

    It’s just finding the path of least resistance so yes likely a tape or valve issue

    Rim tape or valve.

    Probably caught the tape as you were putting the rimpact in, easily done.

    Tighten up the rim pact Valve stem with a pair of pliers

    I had this on some carbon wheels.

    The front was fine with gorilla tape. The rear took 6 attempts to stop the air coming out the drain hole.

    Using Tesla tape and wider gromits on the valve sorted it for me.
