robsamui Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hiya. Been following a thread on the motorbike forum where everyone has noticed that their tubed tyres lose pressure. (My Nouvo drops from 30 psi to 16 psi overnight.) Seems like the cure might be what used to be sold in Halfords and Currys (Sainsbury's etc etc) which is an aerosol can that contains liquid latex so it inflates and also seals punctures, leaks and general Thai/Chinese thin porous rubber tubes. Anyone seen it around? (One poster mentioned Carrefour.) Cheers, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocrosser Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 That stuff is for only if you get a puncture and will get you home,it should not be used for long term use and not at speed!you should not be loosing that much pressure overnight,i think you have a slow puncture!

motocrosser Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Tires lose air normally through the process of permeation. Changes in outdoor temperature can affect the rate at which your tires lose air. This change is more pronounced in hot weather. A tire may lose one or two pounds of air per month in cool weather and even more in warmer weather. Gradual air loss will increase the tire’s operating temperature. This can cause some of the components to separate, or damage the tire body in ways that create rapid or sudden air loss. Do not bleed air pressure when tires are hot. It is normal for pressure to build up as a result of driving. http://ai.state.wy.us/generalservices/mvms/Website Tire Safet1.htm Edited February 17, 2012 by motocrosser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
