| Clay, I know this is going back to basic's but could it be from the valve stems? They stick out and get pushed/moved around quite a bit. | |

| that sucks, I have heard of some tire shops adding some sort of black sticky substance that is said to seal the beads with no leaks. I don't know anything about it, maybe someone else does? | |

I have had this done to one of my tires do to a hole being in the bead. Worked good for about 2 weeks of riding and then started leaking again. But for your problem it would probly work well. | |

| Sorry I haven't gotten back to everyone. Thanks for all the replies and help. I broke them down today and found mud inside the beads. I noticed the torque was off, also. I had some new rings here, so I put them on. I am going to try these and see if this corrects the problem. Has anyone tried putting thread locker on the bolts (if you have had any work loose)? Just wondering, if it is an issue or not. Thanks again. | |
