Nipples
Posted: 14 Jun 2012 18:12
Hi all ,
Thought you might like to know what MM factory said about and recommended doing about the rim/tyre pressure issue after I contacted them asking if there was anything that could be done ,other than putting a tube in . Turns out putting a tube in is still the lease expensive and quickest way of solving it IMO .
this is the factory response .
every nipple has its own o-ring.
You have to dip into water your wheel (with tyre) and check where the air exits the nipple. This way you’ll be able to identify which o-ring is out of order and substitute it with a commercial one (OR 2025+Vaseline grease).
Please let us know the result of this procedure.
