First up .. please excuse my limited maintenance knowledge :-[
Returning back from a Berg trip this weekend I noticed I had a slow flat on my rear tyre. After inflating and some riding, I noticed that the tyre was again loosing pressure. I repeatedly inflated the tyre at every garage stop I came to and limped home. On my last pit stop I inflated to 2.9 Bar and continued home with no further problems.
This morning I noticed that my tyre had not lost any further air, however when I tried to deflate the tyre .... nothing. Pushing in the valve stem did not release any air.. neither did removing the valve stem???
Any heads up on what has gone wrong ??? ???
Forgot to mention tyres are Heidenau Scouts with tubes... maybe tube twisted near valve ??? ???
