[RBW] Foss tubes

2013-01-25 Thread Dennis Hogan
I had the same problem with a Foss tube - tried several times to find the hole with a water bath and no luck but when it was mounted and fully inflated I noticed that the leak was at the base of the stem- could hear it when the stem was deflected but it did not show up in the water bath under mo

I have Foss tubes on my Betty. The rear one is losing air perceptbly every day, but at a very slow rate so it doesn't go flat in a day but I can tell the difference from morning (pumped before I leave the house) to evening when I ride back. I'm going to pull the tube out to see if I can detect any

Anyone have any experience using these: http://www.rivbike.com/products/show/foss-tubes-700c/10-014 I'm very intrigued and probably wouldn't hesitate to put these on my rando bike if they work well. The one down side is that they seem to have exceptionally long vavle stems but I'm sure I could ge
