Life's a gas - yet I cannot see it.

Normally with a slow puncture making it big and water find's the little ugger.

This time its staying as big as a balloon.
A new Michelin tube so what gives?

Sounds like valve trouble?

What raindog said.

I'm now starting to wonder about that other NEW Michelin tube I replaced it with.It is going back in to see if it can somehow start to 'take the pressure'.

I had a brand new Nutrak tube which had a weak spot in the seam on Saturday afternoon.

It wasn't until I'd removed the valve, installed tube sealant and replaced the valve - and fitted a new tyre - and rehooked the gear cable attachment ring - and tightened up the roller brake torque arm anchor bolt - and the pair of chain tugs - and the fully enclosed chain case - and tensioned the chain - and tightened the wheel nuts up. That it decided to fail.

Saturday afternoon failure eh...... glad it wasn't Monday morning at 7.00am !

Tube is back in and it is now taking the pressure.Lets hope it was just a gritty bit of bad luck as I bought 4 of the same tube.
