It's a pretty bold statement to title a video "BIKE TIRE FAIL - Don't Buy These Bicycle Tires!!!"
It's full of those modern buzzwords that draw in casual YouTubers: "Fail", "Don't Buy!!!"
The vlogger has over 9k subscribers, and surely some sponsors as well as PPC ads.
Agreed that the reason(s) claimed in the video are hardly the source (or main cause) of his immediate issue (flat).
About a week after I installed my new Conti's, last year, I got a flat. A construction nail had penetrated the tire. The friggin' road was covered with them -- spillover from a careless contractor who likely left his pickup's tailgate open. Of course that stuff is too boring to make $-generating You Tube video about
I've got one, in any case, for my flat incident: Who's the A**HOLE who didn't Courtesy Flush?!!!
