Flat tire or Popped tire?
Im completely confused.. just this morning, i filled my torker lx's tire, and i got it last week. this afternoon, after about 4 hours of riding in total, the tire seemed to be flat. not extremely, but noticeably. what do you suggest it may be, i let it sit overnight, and nothing happend to the tire, but it just strikes me odd. -- beeper '[image: http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/930/unicyclerwh4.gif]' (http://imageshack.us) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15159 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61675 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Flat tire or Popped tire?
Maybe it's a small hole that only opens wide when you're applying pressure to it, i.e. riding on it. Happens sometimes. Take out the tube, pump it up, cover it with water and start squeezing it. The bubbles will help you to locate the hole. Then just patch it. -- ivan How's my attitude, dirt bag?entropy isn't what it used to be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ivan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12759 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61675 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

thanks but i have this special sealent that you connect to your air pump ( i have an automated one) and it goes inside the tube, and instantly makes a thin rubber like layer on the inside, that seals up the holes. i just dug it up out of my shed -- beeper '[image: http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/930/unicyclerwh4.gif]' (http://imageshack.us) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ beeper's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15159 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/61675 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Those aren't entirely effective... they do get holes in them, sometimes. -- forrestunifreak I will, becuase I can.
