So... I got a flat the other day, and I switched out my tube (as I do when this happens) and my new tube just does not seem to hold the pressure... When I fill up the tire w/ my floor pump (w/ psi guage), after I remove the nozzle from the valve, the tire still feels soft although I filled it to required psi. So, I reattached the nozzle to the valve and it showed 40-50 lbs under required pressure... So I repeated this seveal times to see if the results were the same/similar; they were!
Now, I have replaced several tubes in my time, and this is the first time this has happened. My conclusion is that this tube I have used is cheap; and more akin to a balloon than a cycling tire innertube.
The point of this post is this; I would like your thoughts about my situation (whether you agree or not), and what you would suggest as a consistantly good brand of tubes (and where to purchase). Thank you.
