Mountain Bike Tires Keep Going Flat
I m hoping that a replacement tyre and tube fixes it this time.
Mountain bike tires keep going flat. Especially with the tires on our off road wheelchair we want as much protection as possible. Wide wheels and broad tires can run a lower pressure down to 80psi or so depending on rider weight but standard narrow wheels with 23c tires check the label need to be inflated higher typically 100psi or more. I was looking on internet while waiting for rescue at the roadside and due to your posts and info was able to tell guy at the shop where. Only 15 minutes after starting with a properly inflated tube my tyre was flopping about on rim.
Tube tire cons sharp objects can easily puncture these tubes or when running lower tire pressure they can pinch flat a kind of snake bite rupture caused by air pressure building up in one area of the tube that is common in off road bicycling. And keep an eye on the road. This was the third time of going to bike shop. Depending on the severity of the damage your tire may deflate rapidly or slowly over time.
A flat in the middle of nowhere. There are a few different ways to keep bike tires from going flat. Either way you will not be able to ride on a deflated tire without causing serious damage to your rim and or tire potentially costing you a fortune to repair or replace in. Tube tires are lightweight but when coupled with tubes they become heavier.
