Leaky tyres

[calum100]

Hi,

I've discovered that my tubeless tyre is leaking air between the tyre and the wheel rim, I don't believe the rim is damage because there was no problem before the bike was laid up for the winter and it hasn't turned a wheel since.

What would you do;

A/ Try a puncture sealant, that goop you put in the tyre, or
B/ Get a tube fitted or
C/ Something else altogether?

It's only leaking from one section of the rim. Any advice is appreciated.

Calum.

could be ally oxide on the wheel rim get the tyre off and clean the rim with a wire brush it should sort it out

Cheers Guys,

I don't have the equipment to get the tyre off but I managed to push the bead away from the rim and get a scouring pad in there and it seems to have done the trick.
