I have a Trek 800, a Peugot UO-8, and some cheese bike I go to work with. I never ever was able to
get past like 4 days of the tire being inflated, but things are working properly now, and the
following factors may have caused the change *Removal of the bikes from a little black topped shed
on hot days. It seemed disaster always struck after sunny summer days. Possibly heat weakened the
rubber, and expanded the tube *Sanding of any little nicks off of the rims. I suspected the nicks
may sort of poke the tire into weak areas as I am heavy, but not too too heavy, and the tire
generally deforms as the wheels turn. *Possible sabotage (yet other data suggests otherwise). The
UO-8 was fine for a long time until I changed the tires and tubes then it was the same, and the
original tubes were like 5 times thicker
I was trying to replace the cheese bike's cracking tires today. They said IRC 26x1 3/8. The new
tires, 26x1.5s seem too small and I suspect they can not be forced on to the rims. So what up?
Typo or what?
