tyre problem
 

Hi All,

Front tyre of my bike is going flat all the times. It has a tubeless Metzeler Sahara tyre with no tube inside. It goes flat within a few hours. I've taken it to tyre repair shops (3 counted already) and they couldn't do anything.
They sandpaperedn rim, it didn't work; glued the rim, it didn't work. There is nothing wrong with the rim and the tyre and it is thrue size.

I know tyre repair people in my city is not very talented but I wonder if I miss something and if there is anything I can do?

I thought putting tubes inside the tyre, but this one should be last thing to do. I must solve the normal rinm/tyre problem first. My bike is a 97 R 80 GS Basic.


I need your comments pls.

Thanks

If you don't want to install a tube, try some type of fix-a-flat.

Blow it up hard, and then dunk it in a bucket of water to see where the air is leaking from. Repair accordingly.
