Newbie question: Should I change my tires if...?
I have less than 500 miles on my new Trek 2100 which has
stock Bontrager select tires. Last weeekend I had a flat due to a puncture through the tire from a small rock. THe puncture hole is maybe 2mm, should I buy a new tire, or set of tires, or should I just place a patch in the puncture hole on the tire? I ride suburban Philadelphia streets, so there is plenty of debris. My concern is having another blowout while screaming down a hill. |

Just "boot" it from the inside with a dollar, a thin piece of cardboard like from a candy bar or something. |
