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.

It works

I've always had a slow leak on my GS750, which could only be down to a
scabby rim - gobbed a bit of ultraseal in and I haven't even had to fart
in it's general direction
