Hay Aqua! Tire question

[89th]

Yesterday I went to inflate the tires on my running stroller, they’re like normal bike tires.

I’m not sure what exact pieces are called, but on one of the tires, and valve stem that sticks out, that I connect to the pump to, after I inflate the tire. Once I remove the connecting pump, all the air gushes right back out of that valve stem.

Is that normal at some point for that to break?

Sorry for poor grammar, I dictated this at a stoplight. Lol

Does the valve stem look like the ones on your car?

Yup, like this

Yeah, bad valves are common enough.

Also, I've noticed that trailers, kid's bikes etc. sometimes come with tubes that are crappier than the replacements you find at bike shops. The original tubes on my daughter's Liv were ridiculous, but after swapping them out there have been no issues.

Sound like the valve core loosened up.

Or. it failed.

A Schrader valve tool might fix it.

Cool thanks bike dudes. Yeah I think the valve core failed, based on the google.

Ok so that was ridiculously easy. Popped out the (failed) valve core and installed a replacement. Took maybe…35 seconds of work?
