see if it works itselft out. ill take it up to BP on its 10psi and pump it up and down a couple times

futher. I have 3 bolts on the tube. I left one loose on the inside of the tyre and 2 are on the outside just to hold it on..

I think a new addition to the mega maintenance thread is in order

That doesn't sound right. Do you mean clamps like in off roaders? Or the nuts on the valve stem ? Either way sounds wrong.

EDIT: Reads later saga. Oh dear. Not sure what happened there. Tube repairs are usually straightforward enough, I just hate doing them because I ALWAYS skin my knuckles on the tyre levers. Which is why I always take them to a bike shop nowdays. They have those wonderful machines that full the tyre off and put it on. And they can rebalance the wheel. For a few bucks it's not worth messing around doing it oneself .

Oh well it's all experience. Part of the wonderful variagated tapestry that is biking.

Windy this morning, wasn't it.

edit: tube, yaaay

*respect*. I have NEVER seen anyone rip a tube clean in half while still inside the tyre! And you didn't rip the valve stem out , which is what I thought. Dunno how you did it, but it's impressive!

AND a seizure just to top things off. You sure know how to put the mf***ker in it's place

thats true indeed.

on the valve there was three bolts. I find out now you tighten them up to keep the tube in place and the valve from moving. one goes inside one goes outside

I guess they threw another one in for good luck

The third normally goes outside, as a locknut. I assume you mean nuts, not bolts.

That wasn't what went wrong though, if that had been the problem, you would have ripped the valve out of the tube(which is what I thought had happened, at first). Your valve stem looks OK

Oh well, it's all good fun.
