My 2019 Front wheel losing air.

Porous wheel HD has a new one coming for me in 2 to 3 weeks. Just passing it on.

Sorry to hear that. I am curious, what inspection did they do to determine that is was not a bad tire, a tire/bead seal problem or a faulty valve stem?

Leaky wheels are more common than 1 thinks

WE would mark the leak area on the wheel with a grease pen after the dunk tank

Some wheel/ tires would take as much as 50lbs of air to leak

Once we removed the tire we would scuff the inside of the wheel and apply silicone gasket sealer, problem solved in most applications

It is a FRUSTRATING job:p

I found the leak in the wheel in a tank of water, very slight leak but would have to add air twice a week, the leak was at were the spoke and rim were cast in between two spokes at the rim hard to spot and very slight leak tire and bead are good.
