I noticed a small ding in the front rim the other day - not the first, had a bigger one taken out in El Salvador, result was perfect. I don't know where I picked up this most recent one, but I'm losing a bit of air from it, about 3-4 psi per day. I inquired at one of the main MC stores in Cochabamba, they said there was no-one in town with proper equipment to fix it properly.
So, I'm about to fit a new front tire, I have a bottle of Slime... I don't want to Slime the whole tire just to fix a small leak on one part of the rim, and anyway I'm balancing with Dynabeads and I imagine they don't play well with Slime! So what if, when I install the tire, I put a dab of slime just on the part of the rim that's leaking?
Worth a try right? Then get the rim fixed when I find someone who can do it.
