I think I have done about 700m on my Kenda tyres. Im not sure of the model and I think they must be nearly as entry level as the ones that came with my Triban 3. I bought them in a hurry after my rear tyre developed a big bubble in the sidewall and I was stranded in a very cool but sparsely staffed cycle cafe and shop in Topsham. I cant fault the coffee but the shop was empty so I just grabbed a pair of likely looking tyres and paid in the cafe section without seeking advice.
I've had quite a few punctures in recent weeks. Almost one every other ride!
But it is winter and I do a fair bit of urban riding. Then there are the pot holes hidden in puddles.
Today I got a thumb sized bubble on the rear which, sure enough developed into the "pfft" of a blowout.
I take it that this is a problem with the tyre de-laminating rather than anything im doing with the inner tube (which had been fitted at least 30 miles prior) ? My tyres are pressurised to around 100 psi.
700 miles does not seem very much even for a fairly basic tyre. The tyre didn't seem that worn or visibly damaged.
I might pop into Evans tomorrow tomorrow and pick up some of these Gatorskins.
Unless you think I should be going for something else?
Thanks all
