Well, I was going to take my daughter down to the garden so we could get some things done and my front left tire was flat as a pancake.
I aired it up and it was flat again within 5 minutes. So, I made a soapy solution with water to determine where the leak was, aired the tire up and sprayed the entire thing. It's leaking around the rim/bead area that faces outward. It looks like pulling the rim off will take an act of God so am wondering what my options are.
I'm guessing the bead is no longer sealed and am hoping someone can give me a tip for getting the current tire to be happy once more. The tire doesn't look to be in bad shape but when filled and sprayed with the soap solution, it looks like a Lawrence Welk bubble generator!
Any thoughts/tips are very much appreciated!
