Bead Leak front tire :(

[new2me]

Debating on best repair for my 99 Aspencade, the front tire Dunlop is leaking air around the Bead on the rim. should I use tube, or a sealenet possibly? Trying Easiest route first.

Not made for a tube. Most likely crud build-up. Cleaning and smoothing (be sure to clean both the rim bead and tire bead areas) should do it with a light bit of lube for it to seat. If seriously corroded, another rim should be available on ebay.

Just an update, used the slime , fix a flat pressure can type, did the trick, no bead leak, in future will make sure whoever changes my tires, cleans the rims. I bought it used , so had no input on what was already done,.
