Over the past few months, my rear tyre has been losing pressure. Not drastically, but I'd pump it up before a ride, go out and enjoy it, then park up the bike for a few weeks or longer, and, by the time I was going out for another ride, it was down by about 5psi.
It's not a major issue, but it was bugging me, so today I took it up to Russ' Tyres in Burrfields to get it checked out.
I had thought I might have a nail it in, but that turned out to be just a bit of stone stuck in the rubber, so they sprayed it with bubble spray without result, then took it off and put it in a big tank of water, still without any luck.
So they took the tyre off, checked the inner, secured the valve and cleaned the valve inner, then resealed the tyre to the rim.
I still have no idea what the problem was, but, fingers crossed, that will have sorted it :thumbup
