Mosin Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 My brother just got some 13" 'Luxor' brand wire wheels and they keep going flat. with new tires we assumed it couldn't be the tires. We checked and the 2 that keep going flat have small leaks where the spokes connect to the rim. How can this be fixed? Keep in mind that I/we have no experience whatsoever with wire wheels.

Aaron813 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Im asumming that they were already sealed around the spokes right Quote
McLovin Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 I thnk you are able to just tightenthe spokes down. Thats the thing with wire wheels you gotta keep maintenance on them and chek them every 1000 miles iirc Quote Credo Quia Absurdum
Mosin Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 They have been sealed before. Again, air leaks out of just one spoke on each rim. Quote Derp.
