I cleaned my rims the other day with googone because there was some nasty black stuff on them which I thought was just from riding around.

However, after cleaning a few days later I noticed there is some black liquid/crud that looks like it's leaking from the tube spout. Any ideas what this might be?

oil

 

[andrewg]

Any idea why it looks like it's coming from the spout? Is this natural?

get a flat lately and spray anything in your tires?

Are you sure it's just not chain lube getting flung on the rim and collecting road grime?

 

[andrewg]

well it seems like it's only coming from the spout. It's a brand new tire, I haven't gotten a flat.

Brake dust! ;D

I'm so disappointed in everyone. (Especially you, Wally. :nono No one has suggested... Mold release!!!

 

[mavfan]

what are you using for chain lube?

 

[andrewg]

I'll have to get back to you on the chain lube, the guy I bought it from gave me a can with the bike. Don't have it on me.

 

[andyauger]

What "tube spout" is it coming from? What does it smell like? Is it sticky or oily?

Dang it, that stuff gets on wheels to!?

(I didn't think it stuck to wheels... i mean it's so slippery on tires, I just assumed...)

 

[Klyftonite]

usually it's chain lube being flung onto my rims...

 

[statedot]

do you lube your chain before or after you ride, try lubing after so the lube has some dry time

 

[weasel]

hmm, think dog pi$$!!

 

[Trambo]

hmm, think dog pi$$!!

yep, that or cat whizz, plus brake dust & road grime.

 

[herbn]
