Tubes and Tires, the never ending questions
I ride twice week, about 40-50 miles each day.
Ride speeds from 8 mph up some hills, to 35 miles an hour down some hills, with an average of about 15 mph.
I've tried many tires and tubes. We just bought some tires a year ago designed to handle road debris.
A year later they are all chewed up.
The area we ride has some rough road and a fair amount of debris, sewer grates and othe things that we sometimes ride over.
A little extra weight is fine, if I can find things that last.
Input would be greatly appreciated.
