Leaking Tyre

[Nicholai]

Any advise on the mentioned subject which happened again after patching the leak? It's only about a month old and changing the tyre will be a waste of money. Any other alternatives beside patching up and replacing the tyre? Currently, I have to pump it up each time before I begin my ride (approx after 12 hours of idling). It's a Metzeler Sportec M3 front tyre, btw. Thanx.

normally bike shop is very lazy to do inside patch unless we Insists

Such patch should last till the end of the tire lifespan

[Nicholai]

Very encouraging!!! Hope you're right, man. Wouldn't wanna waste $$$.

maybe can try install tube for temporary riding at normal speed.

Did you check whether you have new lobangs? Usually the external patch will do just fine... Unless the hole too big....

There's only that leak and it is big. Anyway, just patched up the leak from the inside. So far so good. If it gives way again within a week, no choice but to replace the tyre.

Is this recommended?

maybe can add some soapy water to the patched area to test for leakage? or maybe ur valve core never tighten properly such tat when ur tighten ur valve cap, the valve core is being depressed? just my view only..
