Can't be bothered to fix my slow puncture.

[Cyclopathic]

It goes down from 85 to about 60 psi every time I take it out and seems to stay there for a while. I keep meaning to change the tube but then I think I should wait for my tyres to arrive, which they won't until I order them, which I won't until I've got enough bits and bobs to order from the wholesaler (I'm a bike mechanic) to make the order big enough to get free delivery. So I'll just pump it up before I go out. Yeah, that's the best thing.
Thanks for listening.

I feel deflated after reading this thread .

(although I was very slow to feel that way...)

 

[Profpointy]

yes, what a let down

 

[BrumJim]

Is it a valve problem? Especially if it is one of those with a screw-in valve.

Whatever floats your.... flattens your tyre.

But, yes, been there. I've pumped up a slowly leaking tyre a few times on a journey home rather than change the tube. No idea why. Laziness I guess.

Slime!

Fix it properly - an excellent excuse to buy another bike

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Yeah, I'd scrap it and buy a new bike with with the tyres fully inflated - much easier.

Yep - your conclusion is sound @Cyclopathic

 

[raleighnut]

They're always such a pain to find anyway those tiny little beggars, I end up pumping the tube up to 3-4 times its size and sometimes still can't find the 1 bubble a minute they lose.

Slime!

That's not a very nice thing to call him

I know. I've changed 3 tubes today for customers. You'd think I could've done my own whilst I was at it.

Practice makes perfect. You should master it soon.
