Hi Guys,
I'm riding my 1190 Adventure in Ghana where I'm working for a couple years. My back tyre kept losing pressure and I took it to the workshop where they spotted a tiny leak through the spoke where it meets the rim. We applied some local patch but has not worked and tyre still deflates slowly over a few days. Am just about to do a 2000km tri around Ghana so looking to find out whether I can somehow fix this or do I need to just buy a new rear wheel? Any thoughts or fixes appreciated....

The spoked wheels on 1190's are sealed with a wide rubber band inside the rim, yours must be damaged. You really need to have the tyre removed so you can see what's going on with it.

I used that on my leaky Alpina wheels. I used a small dob of sikaflex on the inner of the spoke nipple first. No leaks since.

I did mine rather than ship my wheels back to italy to be refurbed for £300 odd.
