    driving home tonight and i decide to check my tires, decided that they could do with a bit of a pumping, filled the front one grand, filled the second one and suddenly

    "psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss" - mr rear tire

    "wtf?" - me

    "were free, freeeeeee" - air molecules cheesing it out of my broken valve

    "bolox" - me walking the bike home

    hadnt any trouble fitting the pump to the tire (well apart from having to move the bike around to get the valve in the right spot) filled it to 30psi, took it off and the valve went bye bye

    have i any comeback on the garage/tire fitters(tires only 3months old)?

    most of the time it's just dirt jamming the valve open. get a valve key and a new valve see what happens.
