Hi all,

I decided to do something about the slow 'puncture' on the front wheel
of my little runabout motorbike (Honda CB 'Two Fifty') that I was
pretty confident was caused by corrosion / flakey paint between the
(tubeless) tyre and ally rim.



You need some

that's what you need

although you could probably do without the intro


Funny you should mention that as I was repling to Chris!

I'm not sure how well Ultraseal would work sealing a rim leak though
Geoff? I did once use 'Tyre weld' to cure a similar leak on my
Electric car as it had 4 wheels, didn't go very fast and wasn't ever
likely to wear them out (so wouldn't need to get them off). It worked
very well.

Ultraseal is very viscose and is designed to only protect the tread
erea of the tyre rather than the sidewall / rim area?

I suppose if it dribbled down into the rim gap when the bike was
stationary it could work there as well ..?

I will be fitting the stuff when I've properly sorted the rims though
... ;-)

All the best ..
