>>1024297>the state of tubes is unacceptable. It's unreasonable that we can't make a tube that doesn't pop over the smallest things, leak too much you can't ride on it in a day, and cost less than $10.question: what kind of tires are you riding? Are these high pressure 700x23? Do you have good rim tape to protect the tubes from sharp spoke nipples. Also you may have to file down the sharp edges of the spoke nipples as they will cut through the rim tape without you being aware of it. If you are riding your bike anywhere where there are thorns, you have to put on tire liners. You are putting yourself in grave danger if you ride next to traffic and have a blowout on your front tire that causes you to lose control and veer into traffic. I know tire liners add a little weight, but its better than dying from a blowout.
