Inner tube valve broken? Please help.

Posted on
  • Ok i did UTFS but apologies if this is a dublicate thread as i am kinda in a hurry!

    I need to travel on my bike somewhere today and have a problem
    I tried to pump up my rear tyre a minuite ago and when i attached my pump (Just a Beto hand pump) all the air escaped from the valve as i pumped.
    It is attached properlly etc...and i have had this inner tube for about 3 months and the valve has been fine.
    I have tried pushing the valve fiddling etc...still any air that goes in flies out again.
    I do not have time or money to get bus to bike shop buy new inner tube change tyre do chain tension etc... and wonered if there is any obvious/basic quick fix to sort it out...
    Cheers

    (There is definatly no puncture, it comes straight out of the valve itself (The valve seems quite wobbly/loose??)

  • new tube then >.< ?

  • will save you time, figure out what is wrong later.

  • Ok thanks i guess. Damm Bike God...why today, when i really do have no time/money.

  • WIlkinsons, poundland and decathlon are the cheapest places for innertubes, not sure if poundland do 700c though.
