I rode my Ride1Up 700 440 miles without a flat, then had one a few days ago, just as I got to work. I patched it at work, and it got me the twelve miles back home. But, the next morning, the same tire (rear) was flat again. The tire is a 27.5" X 2.4", but all I had was a 26" tube, but hey, it's rubber. It'll stretch and work, right? I installed it, and by the next morning, the tire was about halfway flat, again. So, I went and bought a Goodyear, 27.5" tube, for tires up to 2.3" wide. Thought surely that would work. It's supposed to be 30% thicker than a standard tube to boot. And, you guessed it - 6.5 miles from home, another flat. I patched it, and it got me home.
Now, looking at the first tube I patched, it appears that there is a hole in the patch? I've got a sneaking suspicion what you're going to say, but I want to hear it from experienced bikers...
What's going on here???
