slow puncture continentals

[musicbooks]

Hi Folks,
I may have a slow puncture on my rear continental ( sounds exotic!) . The trouble is I pump and pump on my little pump but the pump don't work coz the vandals took the handles (or is it those b***** valves). Are anyone else's continentals going down slowly ?(letting you down )

A slow puncture is still a puncture all the same and is repaired in the same way. Best to sort it out before if goes bang and you fall off the bike

I would say that it is unlikely to be the valve. I don't think I've ever had a valve leak.

I posted that with the 'little'pump I could not get any air into a continental valve,because of a blockage... hence my little adventure

Hi Tom

It could be a slow puncture but it could also be those woods valves. Are you using a shraeder adapter? important to establish what the problem is as you dont want to go bang halfway down one of those bath mountains.
