Clinton - theCOW Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I don't ride with sealant in the tubbies, i carry a bottle of sealant and a valve tool to remove the inner core. You don't know how quickly it dries up so rather fill when i puncture (basically the same as if i rode a clincher?) Put a small amount in the leaky soft tyre, pump it up slightly and spin, let it settle and hopefully your leaky woes will be gone
eddy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It's strange though because the other wheel is now low on pressure. Someone once told me it's not that you never puncture on tubbies but if you do it takes the ttyre a long time to deflate. When he gets home he just puts more air into it and it's fine. Be afraid, be very afraid ! Even if properly glued on, if you lose sufficient pressure (particularly on your front wheel) the tire can roll off the rim when you corner agressively. I speak from very painful and expensive experience...........
DMC007 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 My front wheel looses pressure over a 2 day period because it leaks air where the extention fits into the valve core. I just top up before I go out on a ride.
Gandalf Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Excuse the ignorance, but what are tubies/ tubulars? From a google search it seems to be a tube that is strong enough to be a tire?
Skylark Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Me to, me to!! Wtf are a tubbies and clinchers, all these complicated roadie words, always wondered what they mean
