Simple bicycle tire question

[Farang]

Bike tire is flat.

I fill bike tire with air.

Bike tire is no longer flat.

I remove air pump from bike tire, and all air is shot back out from nozzle in a half second.

Bike tire is flat.

The fuck am I doing wrong here.

the valve in the air inputter thingy is broke/missing
put in a new valve in the stem

Missing valve stem

Yea the cap is missing too.. this is going to put me out for at least a month because I'm a lazy motherfucker

thanks

the cap just keeps dirt from fouling the value, the cap doesn't keep air in the tube
just the value keeps the air in the tube
without the value, the air comes back out, after you put the air in the tube

Just replace the tube. Problem solved.

This. A new tube costs 5 bucks. Nobody replaces a valve stem in a bike tire.

I don't even bother patching tubes when I get flats. It's super easy to just replace one and be done with it.

He asked what was wrong, not how to fix it.

He asked what was wrong, not how to fix it.

He described HOW HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO FIX IT, advised said attempts were failing, and asked what he was doing wrong. What, he was attempting to fix it and describing it to us to throw us off the trail? It's a fucking question, not an Agatha Christie novel, professor.

Be one with the tire...besides...it's only flat on one side.

You can buy a new valve core for less than a dollar...or a new tube for five dollars.

No way for us to know what kind of shape the old tube is in...if it needs patching, if it's beyond patching, it there are foreign objects in the tire that will puncture the new tube...if you're so incompetent at this that you can't tell you're missing the valve core, take it to a tire shop and pay them to do it right.
