Try lor an dlet us know if the rim for a min at 150 can hold a tire at 140 tubless sitting. Got chance first corner buang olehdi....LOL!

BT56 or Bt021?

 

i just hope to have a good grip at all condition, and the air does not leak easily

 

 

By looking at the thread design 021 is better in wet condition compared to 056,whereas 056 peforms better in dry condition compared to 021.That what i see lah when looking at the thread design,i can be wrong. But i'm using 021 now,great touring tyres,rode back to SG from malacca using the trunk roads(heavy rain),just to test the tyres.

yesterday morning on my way to camp, my front tyre deflated rapidly and by the time i reach camp, the front tyre is almost completely deflated. can press with my hands and it feels softer than a bicycle tyre.

 

in the evening, i then went to two shops and they checked (with soap and water) nothing wrong (no holes, valve not leaking etc) at all after inflating back the tyre. one mech even took out the entire tyre and submerged it into water to check for air leaks but still, no leaks or whatever, everything is ok.

 

this morning until now, the tyre is still holding the air as per normal.

 

so my qns is what is wrong with the tyre. any has similar experience?

Looks like the leak is very2 small,when your tyre rotates the hole gets abit big to lose air whereas when you are not moving,the air holds. This can also be the air valve leaking only when the tyre is rotating.

there may be a slight chance that your rim is warped.

but these couple of days i have been monitoring the pressure and everything seems normal. even if there's leak could it be so fast? cause before i pumped it (250kpa) before i left for camp but reach camp the tyre is almosst totally deflated.

 

there may be a slight chance that your rim is warped.

 

thanks. will try to keep a notice of that. but i dont remember going over any big rocks or potholes etc. so chances of rim warpping quite slim?

Likely an unlucky situation when the tyre got 'disloged' from its tubeless rim. There is an inner ridge on the rim that the tire grips and hugs on when correctly inflated. Getting a smaller size tire that what's recommended for the rim can caused this to happened or a nasty port hole bump (when tire pressure is not right)..or like Palmer said..rim warped.
