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 ‚Ķ might be something wrong with the rim ü§î |
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 |
