Thanks in advance for any advice you might be able to provide. I’ve never had the tires get low during a long ride, so however it’s leaking, it’s very slow. It is a gigantic pain in the butt to have to pump up the tires before every ride, even if only 24 hours apart. The only variable I can think of is the temperature of my garage, which can get mighty warm here in Phoenix with air temperatures hitting 40-45 degrees C (104-113 degrees F) The bikes are hanging from a hook on the wall with no weight on the tires.Ĭan the extreme heat in my garage actually change the shape of the tubes/tires, thereby permanently changing the seals, causing a slow leak? If the answer is yes, is there any kind of solution? The same problem, albeit to a much lesser degree, occurs with my 2nd bike that uses the older style standard valves (the main bike uses the Schrader-style valves). It’s been that way since I bought the bike brand new (Giant Talon 2) and continued even after confirming there were no leaks. I don’t know much at all about bicycle maintenance or modern mountain bike tires.Įvery time I want to go for a ride, I have to inflate my tires. I realize this is a topic that’s been posted about a few times, but please forgive me for adding a new thread anyway just to make sure I’m not missing something.
