Why does my wheel keep going flat?
I just bought a new wheel and had this bike store out here assemble it. They gave it back to me- no rim tape. But no big deal. I had rim tape from Performance (cloth rim tape, performance brand). I put that rim tape on, then put the inner tube/wheel on and blew it up to 100 psi. Within an hour, it was flat. I figured it was because I used an older, previously used inner tube, so I went back and pulled an inner tube from the box and put that one back on the tire. I put more air in the tire. Now this morning, the tire is flat again. :-/
Does anyone have a solution? I'm now wondering if it's the rim tape. Maybe I should put the second roll of rim tape around the rims also, because I'm wondering if the spokes are poking through the inner tube.
Wheels= Campy Ventos, btw.
Thanks,
