Features of bicycle inner tube. I ride a cyclocross about 50 miles a week. Usually on the inside of the rim. Inner tube keeps popping within about 12 hours of installation stored inside and hanging from the wall.

For the last few months i ve had loads of inner tubes split right. The badly placed or inflated inner tube. Once the back tube popped while riding on the road near my house. My bike was sitting dormant for about a year.

Each size of bicycle inner tube has a schrader style valve so it s easy and familiar to use when inflating or deflating your tire. This will stop it from build up or create a pinch flat or perhaps blow the tire off the rim if you wholly and instantly inflate which finally will pop up the tube.

The other four occurred while the bike was hanging in my apartment. So here s the story. It is quite dangerous to ride a bike if the tire gets a bubble. Most valves are 32mm long with the exception of some road bikes.

It s possible that you keep getting punctures from new sharp things poking through the tire but that s unlikely. This has been the 4th inner tube on that tire i ve replaced so far in less than three months. I ran my fingers along the inside of the wheel and can t find a single hard or sharp thing inside the wheel. Always keep 5 to 10 psi less from the given or printed limit.

Most inner tubes are made from rubber and inflate with air therefore anything sharp including thorns glass rocks or nails can cause damage to the inner tube and allow the air to leak out. About half of the mileage is spent on roads the other half on single track trails.
