Subject: RE: Clincher Tubes I agree, it's a lot of flats. First one was a spoke broke and punctured the tube. Replaced that one (and the spoke ) with a crappy slime filled one that was I think 3 years old. Got about 25 miles on it before it popped, found out I pinched it when I put it on. Put another one of the crappy slime filled ones on (it's what I had ), may have over inflated that one and had it explode before I even got it on the bike :D. The last 2 have been similar instances where I was trapped and couldn't move out of the way of a road hazard safely. The other thing to mention is these have all been on 2 different bikes, and not always the same tire. The last two were on fronts while the first 3 were one rear. I have checked tape and tires to insure there are no issues with them. |
