I've had quite a few leaky cells from salvaging and ripping the nickel off, leaving tiny holes.
would you believe... this was not a collision
and it is only because I fell over ontop of the wheel
I had that happened in high school
but it was a friend of mine — wanted to borrow my rode bike
he gets drunk and returns the bike with it all just like that
üò†
I'm hoping I can salvave my brake rotor
but it's a bit bent too
ah
get a hand built wheel next time?
this was a Walmart wheel sooo
so no surprise yah
the bike store closed for today tho
which is disappointing
I don’t know if that can be fixed
hub's probably salvageable
rim + spokes look like they're toast
I have another rim laying around
i just need to work on it to get the old brake rotor screws that were drilled off out of its hub
because i dont feel like truing the wheel
Yea.. single walled rims are trash. but yea, also does not require much side force to wreck a bike wheel, they are only designed for vertical forces

rim ate my tire again?
why would it be doing this
1 did you add rim tape
2 what psi you running
40psi
and, what is rim tape in this case?
Ah. yes, i'm pretty sure
I took the existing one from the old rim
but... that would be mroe for the inner tube, not the tire, no?
@izy
What psi are tyres rated for
40-65
Also what size are those tyres
Look abit wide and also lowest psi doesn't help
theyre 29*2.25
the last tire it ate was 29*1.95
both are in range with the specs
Mark that spot with tape
Remove tire and take pictures of the rim
I think people here will diagnose it better that way … might be something wrong with the rim 🤔
The rim looked fine to me but it's pretty much the only thing that could be the problem
Yah if you take pictures where it meets the tires—additional pairs of eyes never hurts
Is it the right bead type?
... theres special types of bead?
@mark c check for rough parts of rim where the break occurred.
It looks dented there.
Also what iso are those tyres
Also they look quite rusted
it looks slightly dented
but it's not rough
like there's no edge at all
tires mightve been a bit rusted
how can i check 'iso'?
says it on the tyre
i see no indication of 'iso'
both tires no iso
What scuffed tyres do you own
well... theyre what i have
Got an actual brand etc
nope tbh
i was goign to buy brand new tires but had no money :(
are the walmart tires even worth my time
Iso erto is a universal standard your tire
So there is correct measurement
Because beforehand usa had literally 6 different tyres sizes for 26inch etc
oh you just want tire size?
No I want the iso of the tyre
It's literally a number on it like iso 622
584 etc
i see... (50-622) 700x50 c 29x1.96 p1186-07 max load 90kg inflate to 40psi
no mention of iso
50-622is the iso
50c is width
622 is iso
How much do you weigh how much does bike weigh
the tire that i just caught before failure is 57-622
I'm 250 the bike is 75
lbs
Correct iso for rim at least
so... not light
though, the front tire is experiencing no problems, only rear
Well yeah
Your inflating it to minimum psi
And most of the weight is rear
the last time i inflated it to maximum it debeaded and exploded next to my face
;w;
Probably because your tyre was so large
is 2.25 too large?
2.125 is supposedly marked max for that rim
is it?
couldve sworn it was 195 to 225
you're wrright, but wrong image:
i can measure with calipers if its helpful
I mean doesn't matter because 28,29,700c are all same iso diameter
And if the width doesn't change then max recommended width for tyre doesn't change
So a 2.125 limit they quoting doesn't change just because the height of the tyre changes
