Hey all,
Typical I just get a new aluminum rim and tire mounted for the front wheel, and the bloody asymmetrical's start to leak air in the back. Does anyone have advise on a slow leak in a big foot? I didn't find it yet but I think it is a rim leak, maybe... :puzzled:

PS oh here is the new front wheel, it is NOT the one leaking BTW. Excel lawn pros on it.

Oh... that never works the first time! Too big again!

Two words for you:

SOAPY WATER

Take a rag dip in soapy water and run it around the rim and around the area where the stem exits the rim. With enough soap in the water any leak no matter how small will reveal itself.

This will at least show you where the leak is, fixin' it is another thread. :roll:

ok I knew that part I just have not got there yet I guess I should have waited to find the leak first... I just thought I'd get a jump on the whole leak thing....

I use this stuff I think its called Green Goo, it does a great job on bead leaks. You can get it at any place that sells quads and stuff. I added to all my tires and ride in a lot of fields and never get leaks. Its about $8.00 a bottle here.

HI
You can try too let the air out push the tyre from the rim and mount the tyre again !
This gives me good results , if still leaking try " Slime " :puzzled:

Thats the stuff alright works like a charm

I found a tiny leak at the rim and one in the tire its self. I re-seated the rim and it looks like that fixed the rim leak the other is very small and very slow so, I will try the slime or green goo, which ever I find first. It is very slow now after 3 days it has dropped about 1/3 pound. nothing to worry much over.
Thanks for the help!
