I purchased 2 silverfox moutain bike's from argos and in the first few days kept getting very slow punctures that slow that could not find puncture, replaced inner tube's and happened again so stripped down wheel for inspection and noticed that the inside rim had some rough edges were it had not been machined very well so i sanded them smooth with sanding paper and now it seems ok.....
Do you know what tires would fit aerospokes? im getting a front aerospoke and a rear aerospoke but on ebay it always says a pair of tires 700c x 25c and 700c or somthing like that and i dont want to buy the wrong tires.. Anybody want to help me?
I just changed my first tyre/tube with the help of this video. It was back tyre too, so all the extra hassle. I didn't break any world records for speed and my thumbs really hurt as putting the tyre back on was nowhere near as easy as on the video, but I did it none-the-less! Next time I hope to be quicker.
If you're looking for road tyres then maybe try Continental Gatorskins as they are puncture resistant. I cycle around 150 miles a week commuting to work in London and despite the various crap on the road including glass etc, I very rarely get a puncture.
Before I moved to Gatorskins, I was sick to death of yet another puncture. Good luck!!
I HATE getting punctures. nearly every fuckin time i go somewhere on my bike the tyre goes fucking flat. its flat now, ive only ridden it across town. Got to fucking push it home after work
Why is it i can drive my car literally hundreds / thousands of miles and the tyre NEVER goes flat. NEVER. but i go about a fucking mile on the bike and the fuckin tyres flat AGAIN. makes me want to just throw it in the fuckin canal and get the bus. buses NEVER get flat tyres either. just doesnt happen. WHY
@Anygodwilldo It's because vehicle tired are heavy duty and at least a few inches thick or more... it would take a big peace of glass or something stronger to puncture vehicle tired. :) it also depends where you ride your bike and how aware you are of where your tired are rolling... I'm always dodging glass e.t.c... just watch where you ride :d Good luck.
I had a puncture, fixed it with a patch that use's a vulcanizing gel and re-assembled the wheel having checked for the usual things, the next morning it was flat again . I checked everything again, there were no pinches, no extra holes I'd missed, no spoke ends, no thorns, no nothing, the valve was fine. I pumped the tube up and put it in water , no bubbles. I took off the new patch and applied a another, the next morning, Flat ! so i bought a new tube in the end. has this ever happened to you?
Thats a one nice tire

Super Patches are useless i would rather use the longer and old fashion way with the proper patches and the vulcanizing gel.
