> [@Fry](#): > > Cover her in soapy water and look for bubbles. Stop the bubbles. You’re so smart. If its leaking from the bead, it may just need to be reseated unless you can see a physical bend in the rim. ---

take the wheel off and take it to fox tire, or dunn tire, or wherever. if it’s the bead, they will reseal. if its a nail or something, plugs are like $8. fox is the shiznit ---

there may be corrosion where the bead seats if you are getting bubbles from the edge of the rim. youll have to take the tire off to properly fix that. Brian ---

I picked up one of those plug kits at the auto parts store for around $6. I’d rather pay $6 and fix it myself at home than drive to a tire repair place and have it done for free. It’s pretty idiot proof assuming you can find the leak. Put about 50 psi in there and I bet you spot it real quick. Only works if the leak is coming from a hole in the tread though.
