Rear tyre slow deflation

[stevelondon1979]

My rear tyre seems to be losing pressure - about 0.5 psi per day. I've given it a prod and a kick and there's no obvious nails, stones, glass bits etc. Am a bit unsure as to what to do - it could be the valve I guess, but have no idea where to get it checked out. Is quickfit or ATS a good place for this sort of thing - ideally south west london?

Just put a bit of spit on the exposed valve. Any new bubbles means you need a new valve. It could be you need a new valve stem as corrosion can build up inside the wheel. Have you had your wheels polished? I've heard that this can speed up the rate of deflation. :cry:

I'd be wiling to bet there is a small nail you haven't found, valve stem shouldn't leak if you keep a cap on it

If its a slow puncture then put air in the tyre every couple of days . if it needs more than that get it checked (professionaly). I have a slow puncture in the front and when it starts to steer like a shopping trolly i know it needs air.
