    I've gotten a replacement tire sent to me from the retailer where I got the first one. I'm glad there was enough of a chance that it might be a bad tire that they sent me a replacement. When comparing the Trigger tire with the Schwalbe one it is quite a different profile on the beads. Whilst...

    Blow outs with Schwalbe Marathon winter plus

    I've gone through the rim and tire, and what I can see is that the bead is quite frizzled at the problem area, you can see the cord at some places. I'll take some pictures and share. However the LBS that changed it said that this is a tricky rim and that the tire likely still would work on a...

    Blow outs with Schwalbe Marathon winter plus

    The last one was not catastrophic, I was on the bike and felt a wobble and saw that it was coming off, managed to deflate the tube to a pressure that still held it in place and take it past a repair shop. 2 and 3 where proper explosive blow outs where the bead lost its seating, the tube...

    Well for anyone who's struggling to find the right axle for a Thule baby carriage for the Turbo Vado 3.0 2020 it is "20110733". I learned that on my third attempt, but now closed my first project on the bike. And one surprise; it's made by the Robert Axle Project but sold as a Thule original part.
