flat wheels on nipper double!!!

[nicm]

hi, i bought a nipper 360 double a few months ago and i keep getting flat tyres! i checked for punctures on the front wheel-nothing, so i kept pumping but after a week or so it was flat again! i replaced the valve on it and it's been fine. the back 2 are the same. i got a few thorns in the back tyre last week and replaced the inner tube and it's been fine, and today it is flat again. :(

does anyone know if i can purchase solid wheels for this stroller or have another solution?

thanks

I bought, off eBay, a set of punctures proof tyres with puncture resistant inner tubes filled with slime. I have a mountain buggy but they are the same size wheels. I've only had one puncture in 4 years. They are quite pricey though so if you don't want to spend so much I'd first try using slime. It goes inside the inner tube and seals any small punctures as they occur so usually at most you just need to pump them up a bit.

buy a bottle of slime

Hi.

If you keep on getting punctures and you've already changed your inner tube, then make sure that you don't still have anything stuck in your tyre. Often a thorn may cause a puncture and remain in the tyre after you repair the inner tube - causing further punctures. A great tip that my husband showed me is when taking a tube out of a tyre, always run your hand around the inside of the tyre to see if you can find what caused the problem. If you find something, then get rid of it!
