Subject: RE: Repeated bike flats If there is a flat, 99% likely there's a ole, you just didn't see it. If I had a tube that went flat, I wouldn't put it on even if it looked like it was holding air (I'd perhaps pump it to 120 and leave it overnight, then I would use it if it held up) Weak tires don't cause flats unless there are holes in them Did you save the tubes? Inflate them all, find the holes. If they line up or are near eachother, you've found the problem. If they are on the non valve side, it's rim tape, valve side, something in your tire I'd say rim tape is #1 culprit (see Yanti??   What kind do you have? plastic? is it fully over all the spoke holes and intact? Replace it with velox Make sure no spokes are protruding through the spoke hole Double check the inside of the tire to make sure no staples thorns etc. |
