hey guys. Ive got a an ebike that i use for getting around. the past two days were hell, though. long story, short version: recurring flat from shot tire and had to walk it a lot. while looking on amazon for backup tube i came across the nomorflats, and im thinking something like these would be a great option, or something similar if theres a better option. while some said it made the bike heavier, that wouldnt be much issue on an ebike as im not pedaling anyway, usually. might get a bit less distance out of it, but that shouldnt be too big a difference. two concerns tho:
changing the tires. it seems theyre hard to get off. anyone know just how hard? the ebike seems to wear through tread faster than my regular bikes have, so even with this, ill still have to change the tire every 6 months or so.
the bigger concern is fit. my tires are currently 26 x 1.95. the nomorflats is rated for 1.75 to 1.95, but looking at the reviews it seems it wont be a good fit for a 1.95 as someone said they had to put some spaces for their bike which was that size. i dont want to have to deal with that tho. i guessing i could just get a 1.75 tire, though? or would the difference be enough that it wont fit my rims properly?
thanks.
