I've just had some conti road attacks fitted but went to go for a quick ride and the rear tyre was flat as a pancake:smt011 :smt103
After some investigation with a fairy bottle filled with water i noticed the one side of the tyre hasn't seemed to sea,l the air was seeping out. Any ideas to rectify this?
Cheers guys;)

Take it back to the shop! Is there any damage on your rim?

Only two possibilities as far as I can see, they either didn't "pop" it onto the bead properly or damaged the rim putting it on.



Cheers Mark.

(of course could be a defective tyre?, but they should change that)

You won't be able to see the bead without removing the tyre, so all could look well, it may just be some cr@p under there and re-fitting will sort it.
