Troubleshooting

Tire keeps going flat.

Check the rim tape for damage or incorrect installation. Ensure the tape covers the spoke holes completely and is properly sealed. Also, inspect the tire for any objects that may have caused the puncture.

Ensure the rim tape is correctly positioned. Apply some tire levers to help seat the tire beads over the rim. Make sure the tire size matches the rim tape size.
