Although as a newbie, you might be able to get away with it for a while assuming you don't riding aggressively. Modern rear trials tires use a very low inflation pressure and no rim lock. This is just begging to shear the valve stem off a tube. It's not uncommon for the rear to slowly lose pressure. If you only ride once a week, check the pressure prior to riding. A rear trials tire can be run down to nearly zero pressure, but you risk denting the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemur Posted October 20 Report Share Posted October 20 Squirt about two ounces of fish glue into the tire before you insert the valve stem, inflate the tire and roll it around to see where the glue starts to leak out, now you found the leak and sealed it too. Also works great to seal tire studs that poke through the tire a little too far. Fish glue is high tack fast dry glue commonly used in woodworking, it 100% reactivates by adding water, non toxic and easy to clean up. Unlike commercial tire sealant, fish glue hardens into a flexible skin that will help to make the tire stick to the rim and not slide on the rim. I know it sounds strange but it 100% works.
