Tube keeps popping
My bike tube keeps popping on my bike. Could this be caused by the spokes. The rim tape that is on the bike is almost like a rubberband material. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas.

Where is the damage? if on a tire side, it's possible there is some damage to the tire, even a bad bead could cause it.

You Know!? For Kids!
Welcome to the fourms. Sounds like rim tape to me. The bicycle mechanics section is full of advice on bike repair problems.
Try running a cotton ball around the inside of the rim. See if anything snags the cotton.

Replacing the rim tape is an easy way to check and confirm that the rim tape is not the problem...What bike are you riding?
