    I can't work out why my tyre is going flat - help?

    Can anyone help me with this? Any suggestions?

    I think it might have happened on the LROCB drive through Bellthorpe today

    Mmm, yeah. Pretty sure that'd be a bent rim. Real easy to lose air with a bent rim and not know where it's going.

    Nah, probably a busted valve.

    Or maybe a leak at the valve stem.

    Geez these invisible leaks are hard to pick.




    Cheers

    Have a look through the viewing port on the side - you can sometimes see where the hole is....

    a couple of puncture repair kits should get you back on the road

    this will be a good chance to buy a new tyre and fit it yourself, good practice for the canning

    It's your finger. You poked a hole in the sidewall. And that was the last one you had, right?

    My Series 3, has a sneakier one, and it moves from tyre to tyre. All rims and tyres have been checked, tyres are new, valve stems are new, rims are rust free and as new. And this damn leaking tyre goes from wheel to wheel on a random lottery.
    I suppose it is just one of the Landy's little quirks.

    Shorty.
