March 21, 201115 yr just removed the rear tyre to replace the valve as it has broken,removed the rim tape to find some kind of black sealer over the spoke area that looks like Sikoflex, any hot tips to get it off ?
March 21, 201115 yr If it wasn't leaking then leave well alone, done it on a Gas Gas and had no end of trouble getting it to seal, even after fitting a new rim tape. Edited March 21, 201115 yr by rev3
March 21, 201115 yr Author If it wasn't leaking then leave well alone, Had no option but to change it, valve was broken & could not inflate it or check pressure.
March 21, 201115 yr Best way would be to fit new rim tape, immerse wheel and tyre in tyre bath and check for leaks. Taking off the old sikoflex will cause problems, if any spokes leak, seal from the outside, I did on my GG worked fine for the last 3 years that i owned it. Edited March 21, 201115 yr by rev3
