Does the bubble king leak? I want to attached to my bike during the Halloween parade.

When used as directed (i.e. placed on a solid level surface) the Chauvet Bubble King does not "leak." The Bubble solution is in contained a shallow open tray. If you tip the unit you tip the internal tray so the solution will spill. So, the question becomes how steady can you ride? Seriously, I cannot imagine keeping a bike steady enough to avoid spilling. The inherent side-to-side motion of a bike is nearly guaranteed to spill your bubble solution. Perhaps you might be able to make it work in a wagon, trailer or tricycle but not on a bicycle. Good luck.

you can't do that. it has to be stable all the time. the bubble liquid will slosh all over the place and make a big mess.

It doesn't leak but you have to keep it perfectly leveled. attaching it to your bike most likely won't work unless you have a three-wheeler and will avoid the hills at all costs :)

Unless your bike glides effortlessly thru the air, it will leak. The solution sits in a tray and the wands spin around thru the solution. The top of the tray is open. I've spilled it just by picking it up and moving it.

Hi... i used a regular pump like the one you use for bicycles. Just be mindful of the air pressure limits.Enjoy!

the yellow mesh helps with the big opening. as for the straw i have seen athletes at triathlons glue them in place or use a rubber gasket "O ring" that you can find at any hardware store to help with the leak. I personally just let it splash, it doesn't seem to bother me but i and my bike get a little sticky

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

yes if you dont have it screwed on tight gas will leak from around the threads could ignite. but you'll most likely smell and hear the gas before this happens.

Don't know if I will ever need to. I have over inflated mine to a balloon (was in my pack pack and I couldn't see it) and nothing leaked. If it does leak their warranty is lifetime. They will send you a new one.

no.. I couldn't use my bike pump at all. I also went to the gas station and couldn't use it there either. i had to end up buying an automatic pump that had a long skinny valve to fit in it. Wasted my money, since it doesn't even work properly.. My son uses it to lay on and jump on it.:(

Yes. You need to add air. I did it with a bike pump that had a basketball air fill needle on it. Hope that helps :)

I have bought two of these. No problem with leaks, but realize that with thin plastic air will permeate it. Need to top up with air every few days to keep bounce-back action working.

That pump mounts using zip ties for the bit that stays on the bike. The pump secures to that mount with pressure clamps and a Velcro strap.

I haven't had to replace the post, just had to duct tape the seat where the dog ate it...used pretty tape tho so still looks cute:) I would assume you could do that but if you haven't already bought it, I kinda wish I had bought a regular bike and not put the pedals on until she was through using it as a balance bike. Now I will have to buy a regular bike too.

No but unless you have a lot of miles on your bike the ones that are currently in it should be fine, but I would suggest inspecting them when you remove the stock pipes for damage.

No. Make sure the ball joint us tight. I got a leak there. It's from all the moving of the head.

Make sure you have all the air out of it when you screw the top on. I find that helps keep it from leaking.

I don't know. I thought about it but I used the bike pump instead and worked very very well.

No. It shouldn't leak. It must be defective, There are no gaskets to insert,

I just did. Be sure to seal it well and submerge it in a bucket or your pool for a few hours to see if bubbles come out. Since it is LED it an be tested while up outside the water for extended periods if need be, but it is not really recommended still.
