Hi, I was looking for a place which could put my wheel+tyre into a bath so I could determine where the loss of pressure was occurring before I replaced the tyre or wheel.

Anyone know anywhere in the Edinburgh area that could help with this diagnostic?

In case you're wondering, the wheel was cracked (in 2 places apparently) but has now been welded.

Thanks, AL

I was hoping / expecting that Edinburgh's tyre retailers might have something a bit more sophisticated but after calling a few this afternoon maybe this is the best I can expect.

Do it yourself?

All you really need is a container wide / deep enough to partially submerge a section of the wheel as you hold it vertically.

Drop it in, check, turn it a bit, check and keep going... wheel doesn't need to be fully submerged.

Just use the bath upstairs when she's out at her mothers.
