You're responding to a conversation that ended two years ago. Don't hold your breath while waiting for a reply.

I have put crank 53/39 and 9 speeds cassete 12-13 -14 -15-17-19-21-23-25. Wheels i have fulcrum racing 7. I have that parts from other bike and i see in the bianchi is fit good

I had the same problem with my Giant Cypress. Both front and rear tires blew after very little to zero use. Try replacing the tires. My Cypress came with Kenda's that had small cuts or holes in the sidewall, allowing the tube to peek through just enough to blow out.
