did a stupid curbs and popped both at once (rear)
I’ve popped 6 haggy tubes and only had one mbs/razor/aliexpress 8" tube ever pop on me.
Even then, it didn’t ever pop. Just slowly leaked after many miles.
Definitely wash the inside of your tires with soap and water. There is a lot of micro debris that gets in there and wears shit down.
Never had to use slime or tire liners since swapping the haggy tubes for Ali 6x2s

I plan to spread out Lego pieces.
The real issue with Bergs is that they have a seriously sharp-edged tube stem cutout. I also spent part of today knocking that edge down.

Anything. Even a broken car door window will leave some deep gashes in the rubber, but mostly it’s broken bottles and odd sharp rocks. Riding on the side of a main road in an unpopulated/industrial area is the worst.

that’s some dedication
damn, looks like i still need to think about upgrading to tyres if i keep riding next to a construction site each day. that site has been ongoing for like 6 years and i see 0 progress with whatever they are building

Singapore is the same way. They started a drainage re-work near us and stopped the next week. Then it sat for four years without progress.

if noone file a complaint that their poop can’t flush, then its ok right? right???
the site that i walk / ride / drive pass each day is a flat ground that had nothing there to start with, rumor had it being a carpark or whatever, 6 years went by, not even a single pillar

Construction worker here, i can guarantee your local council does not want to give the proper authorisations and the project ran over budget like 4 years ago. Good luck lol.
If nothing is constructed off the ground yet, most of the waste around site is not very dangerous to tyres. If they got to putting reinforced concrete it’s guaranteed full of offcuts from steel wires

I bet half the flats people get are because they fill the tire to the maximum psi. I’ve never had an issue after I decided 35 was my maximum psi and fuck what the tires say

u’ve overestimate how fast we run out of budget in HK 
any gov project will run out of budget before it even starts, have u ever heard of
- bicycle parking space for 30 bicycle cost 3.1M HKD (roughly 400K USD)
- footbridge that crosses 6 lane + 2 railroad cost 250M HKD (roughly 32.2M USD)
i don’t know how much it cost to build a damn bridge, but a metal rod in the ground cost over 100K HKD is just ridiculous

My drive tires shred at anything under 40psi. No puncture, just the sidewalls rub from the torque until there’s no sidewalls left

That’s pretty normal for a nice decently sized concrete pad.

nah, its the cost for the metal rod thingy alone, nothing included…well maybe those bricks around it, but how much those cost again?
