>>1620654>i have been paying alot to keep everything ok and i keep having problems.I'm going to assume you've just been paying someone to put a new tube in each time and you keep getting flats?
So you don't actually know for sure what is causing it?
It's going to be something you can address, but you need to work out what it is. You should change the tubes yourself so you can do that. It's not hard. Better yet, patch them. Then it's basically free.
If you have a snakebite (two slitty holes next to each other) that's a pinch flat. You need to run higher pressure in your tires and avoid slamming them into things. Solution is also to run wider tires.
If it's a hole, trace the hole in the tube to the spot on the tire. Keep them both next to each other so you know how they line up. Is it on the inside of the tube, the rimside, or the outside?
If it's on the inside then there is a problem with your rim tape/something sharp on your wheel poking the tube. This is easy to fix with new rim tape or just removing a burr or something but can cause repeated punctures.
If it's on the outside, there should be a piece of debris lodged in the tire, or a cut in the tire. Make sure you get the debris out or atleast confirm a cut. This can also cause repeated punctures. This is also easy to stop happening if it repeats. Get better puncture resistant tires.
If it's none of those, you likely installed the tire with the tube caught. Learn proper technique. Learn to roll the bead of the tire into the well to generate slack, so you don't have to use levers or use them so hard. Learn to roll the tire once it's on before you fully inflate to check nothing is pinched.
Upgrading your entry level hybrid to tubeless because you can't learn this is just full retard. Huge waste of money.I hope this is helpful because I know it's a very frustrating problem, but you can fix it, if you just use your head.
