As someone who has just started cycling, I have been having an extremely bad luck.

I don't know whether this is a user error, but I have had two out of two Forte tubes fail on me in two days. Day 1: I put on the tube on my bike in the evening, pump it to 120PSI, and let it stay overnight. When I get up in the AM and have to mount the bike on my car rack, I notice it is completely flat. I couldn't believe that, so I pump it up to like 90 and place on the rack - after about 10 minutes it was flat again and I luckily noticed it before my bike got damaged during the 80 mile drive. When I got a chance too look at the tube, it had an X shaped failure around the valve. WTF? and I know I did not damage it with the levers because I do not use levers around the valve when I put on the tube. I could've overtightened the valve on the rim, but still, a failure like that? So that tube was likely trash, but I patched it anyway since it was my last spare.

Today the weather was finally good to ride. I had a new Forte tube in the rear and went riding. Three miles into the ride I go over this unevenness in the road. The friggin rear brand new tube immediately ruptures again!! I took it out and the rupture is again X shaped - and get this, no damage on the tire itself! Anyway, I had to replace this tube with the one I had patched before and by the time I was done I realized my finger was bleeding and it was getting dark - I had no lights or reflectors and have never ridden in the dark. I avoid getting run over by two cars and one truck and make it home. The reason I am making this post is that as I was sitting and doing some work here I heard this very loud noise. Sure enough, the rear tube has ruptured by just sitting around (only 90 PSI). I have no tubes left. Is there something I am doing wrong or is it that Forte tubes are POS? I was almost considering getting my money back. An utter waste of almost $10 dollars.

I don't know if anyone can top my bad luck here. To top it off, rains start tomorrow again and I am not going to be able to ride until next week. And this in SoCal, where for years we barely saw any rain. That is, until I got my bike.
