  Hey Guys,

  sorry if I'm butting in! I'm new here and just looking for some help, advice and/or direction to the right place for help!
  I own a raleigh shopper and have a re-occurring problem with it since owning it and haven't the faintest idea how to fix it. It's probably really obvious and I'm sure you can tell I'm a bike novice! The problem is with the back wheel not holding air. It is constantly going completely flat after riding. I have changed the inner tubes several times and every time the bike rides brilliantly for a short time and then starts to lose air quickly to the point every time the tyres are pumped up they lose air quickly when ridden on. The last time I checked the tubes and for holes I had someone have a look at the wheels and they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong. I was wondering if anyone else owning a Shopper has had this problem, and what I would need to do to fix it. If I was to get a whole new wheel for the bike, would this be worthwhile?
  Thanks for your time, I must also say This thread has some amazing bikes, made me realise what I liked about it in the first place!
