Can I get some help here?
My bike got a flat. It is a 2005 Trek 1200. I have not ridden it much lately and when I went to take it down from the hook in the garage, the tire was flat.
I cannot find my receipt to return the bike. Can one of you make a dummy receipt for me so I can take it back? Bought it at Richardson Bike Mart.
Oh, and it attracts dust too.
LEMON!

Those old Treks tires/tubes are easy to reinflate. Much like inflating a pool raft, pinch the valve, stick it in your mouth and start blowing.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Take it back to whichever store is most convenient ... no reason you shouldn't get a full refund at least, no matter where you bought it.

Do they hang on hooks in the garage better than Treks? I want something light and easy to lift onto a hook.

You need to get with the new bike lease program. Every two years you get a brand new bike and stay current. Brand new tires, new components, no crud, no dust. You're sooo old school.......

Should I return the hook to Home Depot and get a new one? Bought it at Lowes, but they are a mile further down the road from me.

If your bike is that defective, you should consider suing Trek. Imagine what would happen if that dust flies off your bike and in your face while going downhill on flat tires. I bet the factory chain lube has worn off by now too. Totally Trek's fault.

How do you know it didn't just come with low quality air?

I was wondering about that. Do I return that to the EPA?

If you seal the garage well enough, and attach a vacuum pump to it, you can expand the tires, instead of increasing the pressure in the tires.
Also, the tires might ride just fine on the moon and less gravity will make pedaling much easier. Keep this simple.
