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.
It’s not really about the bike, it’s about what tires you put on. You can put oversized mountain bike tires on a racing bike, and you can put skinny racing tires on a heavy downhill mountain bike.
Well, these are road tires and tubes that came with the bike so…
People mistakenly think that big chunky soft tires are more durable, so especially in the entry-level segment there are tons of bikes with stupid setups that are made to look good to someone who has no clue about bikes. The setup doesn’t need to make sense on the road because almost all entry-level bikes are bought, used maybe once and then put in the garage to rot away so that the owner can say they have a bike.
