Have you tried "Slime"? It's green goopy stuff in a bottle you put in your tubes to seal small leaks. drinker

You can buy SLIME at Walmart or any bike shop for about $5 a bottle. It's easy to put in your tube/tire but if you aren't sure, take it to a bike shop and they will put it in for you for free.

It also prevents future leaks and seals existing leaks really well.

Good luck! drinker

"The completion backwards principle"

Easiest solution: Go to WalMart and get a new tube for six or seven bucks. Take tire apart, replace tube, put back together. Pump up. Reassemble bike.

Done. Twenty minutes, tops.
