Tubes and Tires Question
Hey Everyone,
I am new to cycling. I recently bought an older 2006 Cannondale CAAD8. It has been quite some time since I rode a bike, so getting used to the clipless pedals and shifting gears has been fun. The bike appears to be only slightly used based on how clean the gears look. Not sure if the previous owner just took really good care of it or if they had another set of wheels on it.
The wheels appear to be the original which would put them at 13-14 years old. On my most recent ride, the rear tire had trouble holding air. I assume its the tire showing its age... or maybe the tube has a small hole in it. Regardless I think it would probably be a good idea to replace the tubes and tires given their age.
In doing some research, I am at a loss as to what is a good brand tube and tire to get. These are currently 700x23c and just dont have a sense of what is a good brand for each or even where to purchase. So any feedback in purchasing these are appreciated.
Thanks everyone
