Sportchek Fuck You🖕 aggggghhhhdjdjfjnf
I bought 29" tubes maybe about 2-3 months ago as my rear tire blewout on a nail back then. After replacing both I thought both felt kinda flimsy but thought eh maybe this is how it always was/maybe this is fine.
OH HELL NAW!~ smh.
I should’ve figured better. And before anyone asks:
- yes I made sure the rims were free of debris and any rough edges.
- no; there was no glass or nails that punctured the tires.
- yes it was filled to the recommended 35 PSI.
Anyways I def learned my lesson on buying cheap ass fucking tubes and also forgetting my allen key set. If I go half assed and buy cheap shit again well that’s on me and I probably have dementia at that point.
I’m still seething by how much time I spent having to trek back.
Did you not take spares with you?
Seems like every other off road ride for me I got a flat, about every 40 miles.
I’ve got patches with me in my bag but I wasn’t able to take the tire off without an allen key because I stupidly forgot to pack my tools today
Please do yourself a favor and get proper tire levers. An allen key is the absolute wrong tool here. It will ruin your rim and possibly kill the tubes.
What are you using the allen key for? Hopefully to screw off the wheel somehow and not to take the tire off the rim.
Might be a through axle to remove the wheel - many of those are Allen wrenches.
