Default 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.

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.

be.

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

Those aren't entirely effective... they do get holes in them,
sometimes.
