But there is this stuff that is LIKE tape that goes around the rim - and between the rim and your tire. I kept getting flats and found out that the tape has worn. Check it out, it was like a $10 fix and I was able to install it myself.Caratunk Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00042653100322091843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846213604215010011.post-71219795884365317182011-05-28T12:13:45.874-04:002011-05-28T12:13:45.874-04:00That's awesome that you met Frank so randomly!...That's awesome that you met Frank so randomly!

It is a ...Nice job on finishing your first Century! It is a huge mental milestone.<br /><br />So any ideas on what was causing the flats? Did you keep any of the popped tubes? You can find the hole pretty easy by pumping it up then rolling the semi inflated tube through a tub of water to find the air bubbles. Then you match the hole up with your wheel and that usually will find you the issue. Most of the time my flats are caused by a gap in the rim tape that exposes the nipple hole.
