Well, went for a ride on my bike when i got new mirrors. driving on the open road i suddenly noticed my bike wasn't normal. pulled over and had a flat front tyre. i drove home doing like 40km. didn't have anyway else to get home wasn't very far out of town.
got home pumped it back up. herd no leaks. took to petrol station to pump up properly. stayed there for a few mins seen that it had dropped from 33psi to like 28psi. pumped up again went home.
over night it never went flat took back to see what psi and it was still sitting at around 28psi.
either the pump machine isnt accurate. or the air temp i pump at was making the slight difference or it has a slow leak.
took my front wheel off and put into a tub of water to see if there was any leaks. yet there was no air bubbles of any sort.
does anyone have any ideas whats going on with my wheel?
not sure if there is a slow leak or not tests show that there isnt any leaks to be found except the odd diff in psi readings.
did check the valve but that wasnt leaking.
its just weird how it was fine suddenly went flat on me then stays pumped up when i pump it back up. not sure what to do.
does anyone know how i can test to see if there is a hole or if my tyre safe to ride on.
p.s it's a new tyre which was on when i brought.
