Slow puncture

[DarrenJ]

I've got a b*tch of a slow puncture on my back tyre it's lost about 12 psi in a week.
As my tyre is near brand new I don't really want to replace it. If I remember rightly I've seen a tool which can block slow punctures can anyone shed any light on this.
I think it was on one of them shopping channels it was like a liquid which you deflate your tyre and spray it into the actual wheel and it plugs the holes up?

You can get green stuff called Slime to squirt into your tyres to seal punctures. Your tyre changing garage will not love you if you use it, and there are plenty of people who wouldn't recommend it anyway. It might be easier to get a plug put in the puncture rather than putting in slime; so long as it is not near the sidewall of the tyre it should be okay to plug.

Tyre slime is £8-9 from Heine Gericke and other places if you want it.

cheers mate I'll give it ago as I don't feel like forking out for another new tyre yet.
I saw it on ebay for a fiver which is pretty decent but one thing i noticed is that they all say its for innertubes... Where does that leave me and my half f@cked tubeless tyre?

You can get it for both types of tyre.
