Listerjag Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Just a follow up, the Morad wasn't a straight fit to the Ossa rim. The wheel builder had to change the spoke angle by modifying the nipple holes/seats. I am having trouble sealing it as well. What is normal pressure loss I wonder? I think next move will be to remove the band and seal up the spokes as per Woody's advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I have a flanged Akront to fit to my TY250 as soon as I can find someone who can make me M4 spokes to match, already have the lefthand thread short spokes that attach to the rim. Pressure loss should be very minimal even on your type of rim, my Sherco can sit for a month without going flat, that is with the later integrated valve stem type tape 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Listerjag Posted April 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Thanks for replies. I tried all sorts to seal spoke Chanel and then admitted defeat and troweled in windscreen sealer, then left it 2 days to set. sorted 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony27 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 Watched 2 rims that weren't perfect get sealed using a mountain bike product that looked like thick sellotape last week & it definitely worked, didn't expect it to work when I saw the corrosion in the groove for the rim tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
