Today I had a tube blowout inside the tire. Nothing sharp that I could feel. And the tire is intact.
What can be the causes for this? Faulty tube seems like the obvious one. Might a kink in the tube at install time encouraged something like this? Could this be an indicator of the tire being ready to replace? I had a puncture flat (thorn) just two days ago on this tire. I wonder if this tire is getting tired.
- Continental GP 5000 clincher
- 700x32
- Typically run 'em around 75 psi - although I recently took them down to 65 psi.
- 1,800 miles
- Weight: 180
- Vast majority of miles are on concrete trails. Extremely little road riding.
From what I'm reading both from user reports and endurance tests the GP 5000 should be getting considerably more than 1,800 miles before being done.
