DRM Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I have a 2022 GasGas TXT Racing 300 and I am leaking air from the wheel lock on my front tire. I loosened the lock, cleaned it and re-inflated and it still leaks. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a puncture in the tube, so you need to remove the tube then repair/replace it taking care when reinstalling that you don't pinch it as you lever the tyre back onto the rim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, It appears that way to me. DRM, pump your front tyre to something like 20 psi now, check it again in 24 hours. Figure it out from there. Simple like me. First time poster, we've probably been duped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl ekblom Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I would say, best is to get a new tube and replace. Use soap (or similar slippery) when fitting/removal the tyre. Use proper tyre tools. Not screwdrivers. Be careful not to puncture the tube. Lot of YouTube videos covering this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
