Hi Mike, Thanks for your suggestions!
Heh, yeah, he won't be playing on my bike anymore. I'll take a closer look at the bike to look for cracks etc.
I wasn't sure how good my current rims where. I just know that bontrager makes bike stuff. I have no idea if Alex is any better. I'm getting the impression that its all fairly entry level stuff tho.
I took a pic of the rim flat. Does it look bad? I'm hoping it won't pinch the tube and bust it again.
Thanks
