Leaky Mavic Cross Max
Any wisdom on how to repair a leaky Mavic Cross Max? The air is escaping from 2 seperate nipples. The leaks are intermitent, very small, and can only be detected when the wheel is submerged. The wheel will loose about 5 psi during a 3 hour ride. The wheel set is about 4 years old. The front wheel always leaked a little, but it is getting worse. The rear wheel has never leaked and holds air very well.
