Should I repair my bicycle, or purchase a new one?
Why do I continually get punctures?
-
Under inflation, which more often than not will cause a pinch flat (snake bite); -
Sharp objects in the tyre such as glass, wire or a thorn. These objects must be carefully removed from the outside and inside of the tyre. Many reoccurring punctures happen because the sharp object is still protruding through the inside of the tyre. -
Hitting large potholes, drain grates or curbs. -
Putting too much sideways pressure on the valve stem while pumping. This action cuts the tube at the valve stem interface where it come through the rim. -
Bald or badly worn tyres. -
Damaged or torn rim tape.
