Another of my posts on the theme of being a mechanical incompetent.
I am running tubeless tyres and the valve on the front wheel appears to have gummed up solid. I suspect its a result of the problems I had earlier in the summer when the bike went to Spain. When I first pumped up the tyre after rebuilding the bike it vented a fair amount of sealant when I opened the valve. At the time to tyre reflated with out any problems but now its impossible to get any air into the tyre.
Is it possible to clear the blockage from the valve and if so, what is the best way to do it ?
