omgnoseat Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Right, after countless of times looking for punctures, I found out my the valve is leaking air. I'm dying to ride and they don't sell innertubes for 2.6" tyres in my country, which means I would have to wait at least a week. Is there any way to fix the leak? Putting dustcaps on doesn't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 You can tighten the inside of the valve with a certain tool. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I use normal innertubes from tesco in my 2.5 tyres and they are fine. Its only really DH tubes that technically go up to the larger volume. EDIT: sorry this is talking 26" tubes, I guess you're mod, sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My valve looks different, is it a universal tool? I use normal innertubes from tesco in my 2.5 tyres and they are fine. Its only really DH tubes that technically go up to the larger volume.
