off to a meeting at the ozzy and fuel the bike up, been a while since I've rode so go to put air in the tyres starting with the rear. Puts me little dog leg adapter on and air starts leaking out the tyre......being a daft foccer I think that if the machine can get it in quicker than the valve is letting out then eventually I'll get 42 into the rear.......WRONG :'(
IT KEPT PISSING OUT.
tried the front incase it was a dodgy adapter but inflated to 36 no probs so I decide its the rear valve, cut me losses at 4 psi in the rear, rang the ozzy and said I'll be at least an hour, rode the short distance home (too far to push) at 4 mph keeping an eye on things and got home ok. I'll see if I can fit the car foot pump and get air in that way before shooting down the tyre place to sort a new valve
if I haven't got enough on me plate? :\
Do you not change the valves every second time or every time you change the tyres?
