My first ride on TV!!!

[ed_o_brain]

I tend to leave the knurled ring off as it tends to unscrew slightly and then vibrate noisily much to my irritation.

I have done this for years without any problem until recently whereby I have had three specialized inner tubes fail in exactly the same way, two on the tandem on one on my solo.

The tandem tubes were 26" but still with presta valves.

I think it's a feature of specialized tubes. I've read in the past of other people having the same problem.

Noted.

So that's why Red Kite GAVE me some. 700 x 23.
I usually use Contis from Ribble with no problem.

Anyone want to buy 2 off Specialized Inners to spec' above?

Yenners - read the OP. She had never ridden a bike until very recently.

And the videos she's done about local cycling organisations have been very good - we've received loads of calls every day since our piece went out on Monday.
