Two things here. One; just changed an inner tune on the GLWs bike as the hole was too big for a patch. It was a regular Schwalbe inner tune, but in the box was a wee card with the symbol of a track pump, a calendar with '30' on it and above said 'calendar' was x1. Now I and the GLW interpret that as meaning you only need to inflate a tyre with a Schwalbe inner tube only once every 30 days, which seems amazing. I check and top up our bike tyres once a week. Observations please - !
Two. Whenever I separate tyre & tube; repair, change etc., I always put some talc or French chalk round the inside of the tyre before reinstalling the inner tube. It's simply to prevent one possibly binding on the other , I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, so long in fact, I can't recall who told me about it. Does anyone else do this as a matter of routine - ?
