Hi all, I've lurked for too long...and would appreciate your imput...
I have a 2005 Allez Elite with 300 miles on it, stock Mondo tires.
My Hub and I ride 40-50 miles per ride.
We got the usual puncture, slow leak on 4 of the flats...so yesterday inflated the tubes to 124 on the back, 114 on the front (bike tire says 115-125 max).
I get 3 miles into the ride..and kaboom...my back tire explodes off the rim.looks like a pinch with a slash in the tube near the value....so pull over and fix..get back on the bike, peddle 500 feet and the front tire explodes off the rim..I am ready to cry...was so angry..that made hub cycle home and get the car because I refuse to waste another CO2 cartridge on these tires.

(Rochester, NY roads = tons of glass, broken bottles, shards of rocks...300 miles and i have 1/4" cuts in tires)

So my question is "why"?? Are they over inflated?

Have ordered 4 gatorskins for Hub and I.

My other query...I was chased by my first dog..as I screamed "NO" and "GO HOME" I realized I dont speak dog, as he kept chasing..what else could I scream??

The only ray of light from the flat situation is that 300 miles later on clipless pedals my brain screams "UNCLIP" at any sign of danger.

I really enjoy reading this forum, and better go donate my cycling miles to TE over on the bikejournal now. Big Thanks
