Replacing the rubber.... HELP!? - PocketBikeForum.com

Jache616 · 07-12-2007, 11:14 PM

Rode the Ziemini for about 30 minutes, and came home. Took it out again an hour later and ran to the subdivision across the street and when going to cross the street it's back end wiggling bad (realized I had a flat) and walked the bike home.

Anyways, back tire flat and not sure why it will not hold air. :-( Don't know how to remove it or what size it is and where to get another. Tire is a something/something/-6.5 and sidewall said tubeless but not sure if it really is.

HELP Please? :-( In the mean time I got the bike all torn down and ready for soem basic mods.

Thread to come later on that subject....

i still say plug it,it might just be a side wall leak,spray some soapy water on the whole tire with air in it and see where it bubbles,thats your leak

Tried it with no luck. It seems to be leaking from around the bead because there is no sign of a tear or hole in the tread or sidewall. I don't know if they use any adhesive to hold the bead to the rim or anything.

If I hold the tire with my knees and hit from both side of the wheel at the same time, I hear air escape quick. So it can't hit the PSI (what is it byt he way?) that I want even w/ no weight applied.

buy tire sealant... the gel and not the stuff in the can... put if in your tire then roll your tire around to get that stuff all the way through... just use about 1/4 or less of the container... she works great.... I used it when I put my new tires one... or you could try pushing on the tire while putting air in it to push the edge of the tire to the rim

How do I remove the tire? :-( It seems like there IS a tube inside and I believe it's whats leaking.....

Where do i get a new tube? :-(

cag07 · 07-16-2007, 07:44 PM

theres no tube inside friend, get a hacksaw and cut the tire almost to the rim,then get a razor knife and cut it the rest of the way sleeves has some tires as he stated, or try e-bay,but i would buy from sleeves,better to give money to a fellow member than anyone else
