Are you 100% sure that the valve cap cover was completely screwed on the proper way after the flat was fixed?? ;) :lol:

You should also rotate the tire so that the spot that was flat is not bearing any weight

good news, tire held air over night. i rotated them too, but rerouting the chain toward the front was a real pain in the ass.

bad news is i hate my bike. needs a tune up, lots of ghost shifting just riding around in front of my house. my wife drove off so i sprinted after her and was out of breath for 10 minutes. where's the emoticon for an old fat guy?
