Hi!

My fron tyre is flat and whenever I give it new air it just leaks out after a minute or so..

I have spoked wheels on mine and if I have understand it correctly there is tubes in them but I haven't checked myself. Is there anyone that can confirm if there's tubes or not?
I'm in Europe, Sweden.

Mines alloy and tubless which like a car, the valve stem is an airtight seal into the rim. On my old BSA with spokes, the valve stem is part of the inner tube and is threaded and trapped in the rim with a round knurled nut. if with the tyre flat and the knurled nut slackened off, the valve stem can be pushed down, indicating it's attached to the tube.   Try it.
