[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 417473, member: 1875"] I recently had a very similar problem with a new tire. Soaped that puppy several times, rim and all. Never found any sign of any leak. Finally discovered that if I parked the bike with the tire in a particular position, it leaked almost flat overnight. Contamination around the wheel was the culprit. Dismount the tire. Clean the wheel with a soft wire brush and solvent to remove all the rubber debris. Then remount with lots of tire snot and inflate to 60 psi. All works well. If somebody suspects a porous wheel. Set the wheel in a plastic tub that allows you to cover the entire bottom section of the wheel and tire. Rotate it slowly and check for leaks. But my money is on the rim seat. [/QUOTE]
