I think I'm love with this guy after this video.
-
Oh and a tire pressure gauge.
-
That's why I carry a spare inner tube a mini frame mounted floor pump and a 15 mm wrench 'I'm prepared to deal with a flat when I ride.
-
Even though these vids have been around for a while I always come back and have a look because Saul is the only person who explains everything about the subject and in terms even I can understand as a weekday roadie:-)
-
I see, I will take a look at it. Thank you very much !
-
Is it possible that the tube was pinched under the tire bead? Or it is possible that your tire does not fit on your rim properly. Good luck.
-
Yes, in fact, I blew a tube before the PSI even hitting the max PSI for the tire. It could be due to low quality inner tube.
-
It is the tire thaat holds the pressure. Have you tried it?
-
I meant . Should we always inflat the tires to the MAX PSI? I'm afraid my tubes won't be able to hold such high psi on my road bike
-
So it's always recommended to have the max PSIi pp

thank you..

Good presentation, Saul. I had no idea that 90% of flats were pinch flats. I never really thought about pinch flats, actually. I have had the occasional flat, and maybe they have been of the gradual variety. I was also riding on really old tires, so the tread and structure were probably very much worn.
