puncture... Haibike xduro trekking

[wissy]

This is starting to freak me out...

had the Haibike now for 10 months and basically my main method of commute to work through all weather conditions

Not had ANY problems.

Question:

The tyres have not gone at all flat at any time. I have not taken a pump to them at any time and not one puncture. Why not??!

 

[soundwave]

are they tubeless wheels?
my front tyre as gone down a bit since i fitted it tho i do fly around on it hard.

 

[wissy]

No as they have the valve tube thing

 

[soundwave]

im sure you will get 1 sooner or later

with mine i should be able to hammer nails /thorns in it and the stuff in the tyre will reseal them.

good 1 way tho right pita if it does go flat out riding ;(

It could be luck or it could be your bike came with a sealant like Slime in the tubes. Your tires have a minimum and maximum inflation guide on the side wall, probably 35psi min, 55psi max. Regardless, if you have not checked in ten months I would check them and soon to avoid a pinch puncture. Bike tyres do not hold their pressure for long and need to be checked regularly.

Yes I think they have slime but doesn't that just explode into tyre if there is a puncture and how can I tell if slime has slimified ?!!
