  1. hi

    have a problem with innertube recently being using my bike for a 20 mile round trip to work and have gone through 4 tubes
    problem is the innertube keeps moving even though its pumped up hard
    this is leading to the rim slicing the valve

    is there a simple solution to this

    Yes. Align the valve perpendicular to the circumference of the rim. Don't
    inflate the tube until you have aligned it better than you have been.

    Nuke? In any case, remember, surface one more time than you submerge.

    Red:

    If your inner tube is creeping around the rim, then the tire isn't
    pumped up enough. Get a gauge and pump the tire up to its maximum
    pressure, which will be printed on the side of the tire.
