    • @davidarmenta4812
      @davidarmenta4812  Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you so much I read on the forums years back that you should run no more than 15 psi I think I run my car at 35 So idk if my tubes could handle 25-30

    • @freezerburn04
      @freezerburn04 Před 8 měsíci +1

      I hear what you’re saying but my point was that the rim can spin inside the tire when under inflations has occurred. Especially if your gearing is low. This will invariably rip the tube stem off:(
      There should be a psi rating on the tire just try to be close to it👍👋

      In the video I show the things you need to change and the chain was up there I had a no name bike when I was in high school the chain snapped and hit my stator cover and stator that was expensive to fix because I had no idea how to do so. The spokes have been a pain they need to be tightened correctly or the true of the wheel is off. they are not for everyone but so are bigger bikes. I feel like the maintenance on those is far more than these.
