Is your bicycle needing more than a routine tune-up service? We can keep your bicycle happy here. Typically, repairs could be a simple fix, but by far more complicated than doing tune-ups. Our goal is to do minor repairs while you wait if possible, and indeed the same day if the parts are available.

Tire Pressure
|
Flat tires are frustrating. Nobody likes them. While there are things you can do to reduce the likelihood of flats, there's nothing you can do to prevent it entirely. Your first strategy should always be to make sure you are riding with the proper tire pressure. Each tire has a preferred air-pressure range, which is in psi (pounds per square inch). Look on the tire sidewall for the recommended pressure. As a general rule:
|
The inflation pressure of the inner tubes is essential to improve the comfort and durability of the material. A complete inspection of the tire is necessary. There will often be minor sharp metals going through the tire thread and leaving a slight snakebite sting, requiring a small patch inside the tire. Under-inflation can lead to problems with" pinch flats "that may occur when you hit a bump, possibly causing between 1- 2 small holes that resemble a snake bite. On the other hand, over-inflation does not cause flats, although it's possible to blow out the tube in extreme cases.

Tubeless tires
At minimum, you should replace the sealant every 3-6 months or so. A good tubeless setup will stay inflated well beyond that time, as the latex in the sealant has already sealed any small holes. However, the sealant does dry over time, so the systems' ability to self-repair when you run over a thorn or sharp rock is greatly reduced. There is no need to clean and remove the old sealant. However, some brands tend to leave clumps that you can pick out. However, is best to remove the tire and remove the old sealant and clumps. If your valve cores are removable, the easiest way to add sealant is through the valve. Otherwise, you'll have to break the tire bead off the rim (just a small section) to add sealant. This can sometimes take a few tries to get sealed again (helpful to have a compressor or large CO2 cartridge to "slam" the tire into the rim).
How can I stop a tubeless tire from leaking?
It can be devastating to see tubeless tires start to leak. Or even worse, what if you spring a leak while riding on the trail? Unfortunately, leaks are a common issue when you run tubeless tires. On the road to maintaining tubeless tires, you will also learn how to manage leaks. Since there are few places for the sealant to escape, you will run into two types of leaks. I will list them here, with a summary of how to stop a tubeless tire from leaking.

- Leaking through the Spokes/Valve – Although this can be an annoying issue, air leaking through the spokes is just a sign that the rim tape may be needed to be replaced. Do not be an alarm, as the sealant usually fills the holes and plugs the leak. Worst-case scenario, you will have to remove the tire and sealant to re-apply the rim tape.
- Leaking through the bead – This is the most common leak experienced by those running tubeless tires, and it is straightforward to treat. To seal a tire leaking at the bead, make sure there are no obstructions between the rim and tire bead, then inspect the tire to make sure the bead is fully seated. If you are still getting leaks, you may need to lower the air pressure in the tire. Sometimes, high air pressure can prevent sealant from drying enough to seal any gaps.
