two days two flats
 

Just bought new Vittoria Rubino Pro Slicks and got a pinch flat on my front tire yesterday. I thought to myself maybe i just didnt have the correct TPI. So today when i went out riding i made sure i had the correct tire pressure and 15 mile in another pinch flat on my front tire.

I checked vittorias website and for the Rubino Pro Slicks the TPI is 150 while on the actual tire itself says 120. what gives?

The roads i ride on are pretty beat up so maybe that could be the cause.

anyone else have these tire or this problem?

anyone suggest a solution to this dillema?

Are you using tire irons to put on the tire? You could be pinching the tube when you are putting on the tire?

Threads Per Inch of cloth. This is a common spec for tires. The higher the TPI number, the thinner and more flexible the tire fabric is. Thin-wall (high TPI) tires tend to be lighter and have lower rolling resistance, but they're more easily damaged by road hazards.

You can't change the TPI. You can change the PSI (air pressure)

All it takes sometimes is rim-strip that has shifted and exposed a nipple allocation in the rim.

It is simple... you have angered the cycling gods.

They come in three's so be prepared

i had vittoria rubino pros on my commuter bike. it went through some gross stuff, glass, potholes, snow, etc. and i don't think i ever flatted in 3 years. my guess is that you installed the tube incorrectly.
