Default Rims leaking

2 of my tire rims are leaking just a bit ( I can ride 4 hours before putting air in the tire). Do I need to change the rims? Can I just deflate the tire, put glue arround and inflate them again ?

alot of times it's just sand-dirt ect in the bead of the tire, but i have one tire on mine i had to put a tube in to fix the slow leak problem. i wish i had put in the tube befor i spent all the time screwing around looking for the leak [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

I can actually see where is the leak on my front tire when I put water on it. bubbles are coming out between the rim and the tire.
How much is a tube ? does it worth it ?

try resealing the tire first, the front tires maybe easier to fix than rear. i think about $15-20 for a tube if resealing won't correct problem
