Yea! My tire was flat the other day, so I went and pumped it up. Rode around for about 5 mins and it just lost ALLL it's air pretty fast. I go and patch the hole I had, nothin happened, put slime in it and it still didn't work. So I ordered a new one. Damn UPS truck crashed so I have to wait 'till wednesday. I went out to try and fix it again and I found about 7 more holes all around the tube (slime came out of em). How the hell did I get EIGHT HOLES IN MY TUBE. I didn't even freakin poke a hole through my tire.

Oh well, I just thought it was wierd having eight holes in a little fiddy tube.

 

8 holes= 8 spokes that put holes in your fiddy tube. Tighten them up brother.

 

Well I went and tried that, one spoke was loose. 5 or 6 of the holes are on the side of the tube, the spokes would not be able to cut them. They are extremley small too, I can't find em without using the water/air bubble trick. I just took about 6 square inches of tire patch and pactehd the thing up. Looks like one of them quilts now since there's different color patches.

 

maybe you pinched the tube on the tire removal or reinstall.
I did it 4 times in one day. that sucks donkey *******.

 

TO losen the tire defalte the tube and push it or drive it slowy around, they weaken fast and are easy to take off and put tubes in.

 

You did it putting the tire back on. You might not realize it but every time your screwdriver slips, its usually a new hole in your tube. Just gotta be more careful and using real tire irons helps too.
Oh, and that slime stuff wont work on a tube tire, at least i dont think so...

 

I used tire irons, but I think I might have [pinched it anyways.

 

Yep...changing tires is the worst part of riding bikes. period

 

how exactly do you tighten your spokes?

 

have to get a spoke wrench, just tighten to spokes untill there is no wobble in them http://dratv.com/dratv/spokewrench55a.html

 

Buy the rim there are the gold nipples, turn them wichever way it is till the spokes are tight.

 

Whichever way it is??

its not righty tighty lefty loosey?

 

I think it is but somethimes it gets confusing. If you go the wrong way there is only one other way.

 

spoke wrench got here today... its not small enough for the stock spokes

 

use pliers

 

Cresent wrench is better.
