New tube 7 months ago

I picked up one of those Slime tubes for my back tire, because having to pump it up everyother day turned into pumping it up twice a day. I don’t need that, thanks. This time when I pulled the tube out I was able to find the tiny sharp thing that has been causing these punctures and removed it. Unfortunately, the tube wasn’t the right size. I put the tube in a spare tire I had and threw that on the rim, but it’s is old and worn. I need to either get a new tube, or just try cramming the large tube into my smaller, good tire…..

Progress, at least!



My tire keeps going flat! 7 months ago

It’s such a pain to have to reinflate it every other day. I’ve changed the tube a couple of times, but they keep developing leaks. Right now it’s full of Slime, so it’s a slowish leak, but it’s getting faster. Every time I change the tube I’ve inspected it and can’t find any signs of what is causing the holes. Hoping I won’t need a new rim or tire.
