The wheel goes flat after about 24 hours. It seems to be leaking from under that nut where you pump the tyre from. Is this a simple diy fix or do I need to go and see the lady in the bike shop?

High possibility of the tube having a cut on the valve hole. What I’d do is buy a new tube (or go tubeless), and try and find if there is a little metal burr on the inside of the valve hole. This could be the reason it is leaking from there.
If you aren’t comfy doing this yourself then head over to you LBS.
Youtube has lots of videos on how to change tyres 🙂
did you guys not have a childhood ? Or I am too European to get this ?
Can’t you change a tube? …
I’m not really sure if that is a tube or a tubeless valve. If it is a tube, which I believe it is. It’s one of the easiest and most important things to be able to fix on a bike, change the tube and it should be fine.Â
Fixing a flat is an easy fix, and one that (almost) every rider should know how to do.
