I recently replaced my front tyre with a new one from a different brand. All of a sudden I have to top up the pressure with about 0.5 bar per week. With the old tyre it was not necessary.
Last night while washing the bike I saw some tiny bubbles on one place between the tyre and the rim. Ok ....... now I know what the problem is.
My question now ......... can it be solved by taking the tyre off the rim and refitting it and is there something I can put on the tyre and/or the rim to make sure that it will not leak again? (There is no damage to the rim)
