- Hi,
-
- I recently bought a Bridgestone RB-1 with Continental Grand Prix 700x23c
- tires (instead of the Ritchey Road Force 700x28c). In less than one mile of
- riding, I've managed to get two flats. In the past, I used Grand Prix's on
- my old Cannondale R500 and never had a single flat (which was pretty amazing
- considering the amount of riding that I did).
-
- Anyone out there in net-land have any idea what I'm doing wrong?
-
- Background info:
- The tires were inflated properly (115-120 psi) before they flatted.
- The rims are Ritchey Vantage Comp, 32-hole (the ones that come with the bike)
- The tube was Bridgestone (the ones that come with the bike).
-
- Please post responses or e-mail me at feng@cs.uiuc.edu
-
- Thanks,
- Wu
