You may remember that I ran for several miles last year on a flat front MPA.
4: At the time I didn't think I'd damaged the front wheel although the tire was ruined. Now I wonder...
I started slowly losing front tire pressure a couple of weeks ago. Now its gotten bad. I tested with soapy water tonight and there is a large section of the right side rim with lots of leaks - may 6 rim leaks in about 1/3 of the circumference of the tire.
BTW - a few months ago I had a rim leak on this same wheel. Remounted the tire and tried to make sure there were no burs on the rim. No leaks after that until now.
So - I think I may be looking at a new front tire. What's your thought on this?
