Is there any ultra-resistant inner tube for punctures, as well?
I got 3 flats today on the rear wheel, over 70 miles (no nails, just small holes in the inner tube). Wanted to make my first century (and I would have, too), but the damn tube just didn't let me (AND made me miss a work appointment across town). I replaced the original tube with a Maxxis (the one in the photo) a month ago, what a piece of cr*p it has turned out to be. Around 9 flats already, one month use only. Granted I treat the bike hard, but still, seems ridiculous to have had so many flats in such a short period of time.
Today was Sunday so most bike shops were closed, had to walk miles and the third time I just had the tube replaced for a no name/3 bucks one, and was able to make it back home. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out better than the Maxxis..
The guy that replaced the tube told me to get a Specialized. Is there any tube out there that's very thick or resistant? I don't mind paying more, I'm getting really tired of getting flats
Is it possible to buy something near this?
