Does 2011 Zero S spoked front wheel use an inner tube?
« on: August 13, 2016, 03:04:41 AM »
Hello again and thanks for reading this!

I'm starting to lose air in my front tire more rapidly - 10-15 psi in a few hours - than I used to.  The bike has always required a quick check of tire pressure and a topping up, sort of like my road bicycles do.  But this is obviously a cry for help ...... !  I'm looking for my Schrader valve core wrench, probably have to go buy another one ...... so I have not tried removing tha valve core and reseating/replacing it.

Thanks -

Mike

You should be able to buy a valve core wrench at any auto accessory store for a couple of bucks.
