So, I bought a new wheelset, Easton Accent IIs, last Wednesday. I've now owned these wheels for 5 days. In that time, I have had two tubes explode! (One exploded on front wheel, one on the back). Before they exploded, both made a funny, "twing" noise. Then BOOM!
The tires have a max PSI of 125, and I had them up to maybe 110, so I don't think that's the issue here. Also, when they're exploding, they're in the air conditioned house, so heat isn't an issue.
I was using the Bontrager Super Light tubes, so maybe because of the thinness of the tube? But I've never had one explode with my old wheels, so I'm not sure that's the issue either.
The only factor I can figure that might be a problem is the new wheelset.
Also, one of the tubes only had about nine miles on it, so it's not like they're be too old.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
