Hi all, quick question:
I have been buying tubes from TSC for the front tires of my 641D. 550/600 X 16. Yesterday, I took one to the local tire place and they told me the reason I was having flats is that it was the wrong type of tube. Specifically, they said that tubes like the ones from TSC with straight valve stems instead of an elbow are forced to bend when inflated and then split / leak.
Can anyone validate that for me? More importantly, can someone give me a "sure fire" source to order a proper tube for my front rims?
thanks!
Steve
