Why do bike tires go flat when not in use?
When not in use, tires get deflated over time. This is mainly due to the permeability of the tube and the small size of air molecules. Slowly air molecules find there way through the tube and valve seal.
Can you convert bike wheel to quick release?
What you want to do is turn your wheel into a quick-release wheel. In order to do this, you need to remove that solid, bolt-on axle and the parts on it, and replace them with a quick-release compatible axle and parts (called a quick-release axle set).
Why does my front bike tire wobble?
In bikes, speed wobble starts when something causes the front wheel to accelerate to one side. This could be something as simple as the rider shivering on a cold descent, the rider sneezing, a gust of wind, a bump in the road, or perhaps even a wheel that’s not quite true.
What is a quick release skewer on a bike?
