Hi guys,
Basically i have 2 innertubes which went down on me in seconds in after i ran over a couple of small stones after covering about 8miles.
Put old innertube in at road side and blew up with CO2 canister - no idea what pressure it blew up to but they are great!
Got to work and back again (roughly 15miles) and the one i put in is fine.
I tried to fix punctured innertubes - on one i did the test in a bowl of water (then dry and apply patch) but after the 5th one i think innertube is knackered - so tried the other one and got to the 2nd patch so figured that was the same.
My question is:-
Have these punctured because of too much pressure? My uncle put in 120psi as that's what he races at and hence he knows more about this than me. I said i read that 90-100psi was fine for the road.
Is the above what innertubes do when you have too much pressure in and it bursts/explodes as soon as i hit the stone?
Figured i need 2 new innertubes?
