Review on Bell Standard and Self-Sealing Bicycle Tubes: Enhanced SEO-Friendly Product Name by Reginald Ward

Revainrating 1 out of 5

A small tear developed after 2 weeks of moderate use

Very disappointing! I thought it was a good brand. Everything started well: delivered on time, perfectly assembled. I also installed a new puncture proof tire and tuffy liner because I don't like to back up when I'm walking. However, after about 2 weeks of normal use (on the go) a small crack has formed on the inside. Tires as I drove just before dark. The photos show that the tear, although small, progressed so rapidly that it was not worth inflating the tire with a portable pump as it would deflate again in less time than it took to inflate. The photos show that the gap was on the inside of the tire. The second is a detail of the first. This must have been a manufacturing issue, the rim had no sharp edges and was on the opposite side of the tread. Very annoying: It's not so much the $10 I lost as an hour plus a walk home and an hour or so that I end up having to mount a new tire (this tuffliner is great once mounted but oh my goodness getting it right I've already ordered a new camera so I have to wait for them to arrive too. :(
