Are Schwalbe tubes any cop...i have had 2 new ones on the rear rim and can't seem to get rid of the slow leaks.I fitted the latest yesterday and it deflated overnight.Identical tyre and tube on the front has stayed up since xmas!Are the valve cores all much of a muchness...should i try another brand..?

    Aren't their cores removeable, allowing extensions for deep rims? Perhaps the core is a smidgin loose?

    The cores are removable, take the core out, wrap a bit of white plumbers ( Teflon) tape around the threads and re-install.

    It won't leak again,
