I’ll be pumping up a car tire with a bicycle pump today, notice the driver side rear a little low.

This happened to both my wheels right before a bike trip.

but there’s clearly a tube in it. what kind of sealant was that?

HammerheadFistpunch > benjrblant 10/24/2019 at 11:41

I can’t remember why I needed a tube in there, but it was normally sealed with stans as tubeless.

It was about a week old :(

that’s incredible! looks like some older formulas of stan’s used ammonia to keep the latex liquified, this tends to eat through rims pretty badly. supposedly it’s since changed, but i’m glad i use orange.

I have switched to Orange Seal and have never had any issues. The stans had ammonia in the mix and that was the corrosive aspect.

Well I guess you could patch it...

A couple years ago I had new tires and tubes on for two days before something cut a ~ 1.5cm slice across my puncture resistant tire and through the tube. I was not impressed.

Im off road as much as on it

But yes

Right?

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > facw 10/24/2019 at 11:55

Yeah that sucks

I could have patched it.... But I just carried it to a shop on my home and said fuck this shit and paid them to fix it for me....and check if the rim survived.... All fixed now.... Sometimes it's just worth the money to not deal with shit

Have you ever tried ties with a reinforced casing? The screw was probably put there by someone with bad intentions but i use a heavy duty tire for my mountain bikes and have not had a flat in years. Specialized “grid” casing or Maxis DH casing come to mind. Kind of expensive and heavy but you don’t have a car so why not spend car money on a bicycle.

i also switched to orange.

ill have to look into those....tbh...i went over a year without a puncture

possibly even two.... now ive had 4 in 3 weeks (partially coz the whole town is under construction and theres sharp shit everywhere)

There is no tire out there that is going to prevent a puncture from something like a screw or nail.

Jeez man did that damage your rim?

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > CalzoneGolem 10/24/2019 at 12:53

somehow...no.. walked it to a bike shop on my way home and paid them to fix it and check the rim

i guess coz it went in so perfectly fucking straight and centered i got away with it (i also didnt waste anytime getting off the bike and carried it to the shop)

CalzoneGolem > farscythe - makin da cawfee! 10/24/2019 at 12:59

That’s amazing! You’re fortunate it didn’t punch right through. It prob ably punctured both sides of the tube.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > CalzoneGolem 10/24/2019 at 13:01

punctured my rim liner too....i think it pretty much made it all the way down to the spoke

CalzoneGolem > farscythe - makin da cawfee! 10/24/2019 at 13:03

Oh yeah if it landed in the spoke crown or whatever it’s called that’d keep it from punching thr ough .
