Losing air in rear tire.

[ovlovder]

So my rear tire went from 36lbs-9.5lbs since december. I think there is a small bend in the rim, like an inch long and barely noticeable unless you are looking for it. Front lost maybe 1-2lbs in the same time...

Any incite????

well the front is probably from air temp changing.....as far as the rear, try pulling the valve and putting a new one in. Now I'm not talking about the whole rubber piece, just the valve inside. Mine had a really slow leak and I did that and have not had a problem since

a dent thats so small you cant see it, wont leak air

You can see the dent, its shallow, it looks like a reflection. When I first noticed it I didnt think it was a bend.

I had planned on changing the valve core tomorrow after I check the pressure. Bad schrader cores are a common problem with bicycle suspension as well.

Soak the tire with soapy water from a spray bottle. The leak should be easy to find.
