|   Losing air overnight with Stan's | - Jeremy -
Jul 12, 2003 3:49 AM | | I pinch flatted both of my lightweight latex tubes in a jump/crash a few days ago. After much hesitation, I've finally decided to give Stan's a try.
I'm installing it in a Velocity VXC (317 clone) / Conti Explorer Supersonic combo.
I got the kit and installed it last night. Drilled out the inner hole to 3/8's and used between 1 and 1.5 scoops per tire. Inflating was easy but I guess I missed some small holes? When I woke up this morning, both tires are down to about 10 PSI.
Is this common for a first install? Does the latex need to build up and thicken for a day or two?
I sure hope so because I have a series race on Sunday! :)
Thanks for any tips you can give me!
(I know this isn't the "Help with Stan's" forum. I just couldn't help myself ;)
