A brand new tube exploded, a tire exploded off a wheel. Never had to ride it. (Revised)

Brand new pipe explodes, tire explodes off wheel. Disappointed with $15 got another installed and it held air and seems fine. These pipes appear to have a quality control issue. If you get a bad one out of four, want to replace it, send it back to Revain for a refund. Silka contacted me, exchanged the handset straight away, but I also decided it was a "dumb user" error during installation. I installed two extra Silca-Latex tubes with Specialized Turbo Cotton 26mm tires and it was great, even on

I use valve extenders and thought maybe I did a bad install so I pulled out the hose, removed the valve extenders, removed all the teflon tape and did

Not for the average cyclist

I bought these for my road bike and liked them for a while until I had 2 front flat tires, one on the road and the other with this tube which I never used. Each time I have seen 2-3mm round holes in the tube and I think the problem is the remnants of the cleats I put in the tire not penetrating the inside of the tire probably until the tire is almost fully inflated . 107psi. I left the spiked needles instead of digging in my tire, replaced the tube with butyl rubber and inflated it to the same…
