Prince Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Just started using Tubular tyres and notice they lose air VERY quickly, about 2 to 3 bars of pressure per day. Is this normal and no they dont have a puncture.CAADman2009-02-02 07:11:29
Wyatt Earp Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It all depends on the "tjiep" rim you might be using

desmondalie Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Thats normal. The same happens to mine. Not sure why it happens though
ShortLegs Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I find my Corsa CX loses loads of air like you said, the conties lose nothing. Maybe the conti's use regular rubber tubes while the Vittoria's use latex.
Spinnekop Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 CAADman. Yes, they loose air very quickly....depends on the tube inside... I heard a long story once why this was so......can't remember why...But my Vittoria tyres went flat within a week.
NotSoBigBen Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It all depends on the "tjiep" rim you might be using One slap around the head next time i see you You reckon that would have any effect
Prince Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 Yup i have the Vittoria's Corsa CX as well. One week and flat as a pancake. Oh well just have to pump them every other day.
Prince Posted February 2, 2009 Author Posted February 2, 2009 It all depends on the "tjiep" rim you might be using One slap around the head next time i see you ? You reckon that would have any effect BB you are probably right, he's beyond help!
carlo_sg Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I find Vittoria's lose air overnight, but my conti's hold air pretty well.

Johan Bornman Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 It has to do with the tube material. If it is a latex tube (long condom), then it will lose air quickly. Butyl tubes (black stuff) holds air better. Anything classed as lightweight is probably a latex tube. Tubbies belong in a museum. Get clinchers.
GoLefty!! Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I hate tubbies. Glue on the fingers, in my crotch....nasty stuff clinchers, way better
