Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads This happened after i pumped my tyre (tubeless). Air immediately leaked from the rim and the tyre is completely deflated now. What can be the cause of this? Is it a serious issue? Air leak from rim byu/Advanced_Tie3595 inbikewrench by Advanced_Tie3595 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
