not sealing on the rim???
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
  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?

Re: not sealing on the 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)
