Finally got around to putting the chain and pedals on!

 

Initially put the tyres on without any rim tape and the tyre exploded.  I went to the bike shop to get some more...

 

Umm....I need some more tyres, I popped them.

 

Popped them?

 

Yeah, on the spokes.

 

On the spokes??!!!!

 

Wah

 

PICTURE TIME!

what. have u installed rim tape? if not then do that. electrical tape works fine but proper tape is cheap anyway

 

if yes, you might be pinching the tubes when you are installing the tyres. pump them up a little bit then squeeze around the tyre until the bead looks right all the way around and make sure valve is straight. then pump them up

 

I have tubes here if you want some

 

edit: if you spokes are sticking out of the nipples heaps then file them down

Haha.

 

Fixed tyre and went for a ride on those two along the Onehunga foreshore this morning.

 

Bling bling!

You'll have to excuse the giant thumb.

 

I got some white perforated bar tape yesterday and tried it on this morning but it looked too bulky and shite so won't use it. I kept the silver caps though to go in the ends.
