Sportchek Fuck You🖕 aggggghhhhdjdjfjnf

I bought 29" tubes maybe about 2-3 months ago as my rear tire blewout on a nail back then. After replacing both I thought both felt kinda flimsy but thought eh maybe this is how it always was/maybe this is fine.
OH HELL NAW!~ smh.

I should've figured better. And before anyone asks:

  • yes I made sure the rims were free of debris and any rough edges.
  • no; there was no glass or nails that punctured the tires.
  • yes it was filled to the recommended 35 PSI.

Anyways I def learned my lesson on buying cheap ass fucking tubes and also forgetting my allen key set. If I go half assed and buy cheap shit again well that's on me and I probably have dementia at that point.

I'm still seething by how much time I spent having to trek back.

It happens bro. I've had it happen with expensive speciality bike store tubes. Hell I had it happen on a carbon wheel, at 2am in my basement. I thought the Russians were invading, holy hell. I would have shit my pants, if I wasn't too busy having a heart attack. Sounded like a bomb went off lol.

Most of my bicycle wheels are tubeless now. My dirtbike is still tubed, and will be until I get off my ass and convert it too.
