Odd. Conti has always been a high quality product. I run their tubes in my Michelin or Conti tires.Second blowout in 32 days. This one occurred six miles in on my lunch ride. Continental tires and tubes are all I’ve been able to source since Covid, but I’m less than impressed with the Contitube Race 28 tubes so far and they aren’t exactly cheap, either.

If you think they are expensive check out latex inner tubes

Until the last 18 months, I’ve been a Michelin guy, so maybe this is just an anomaly. I’m going to do a real good inspection of the wheel tonight to make sure I haven’t missed a burr or something poking thru the liner.

Sandpaper?Aluminum splinter in the sidewall of the hoop. What to to do, what to do. Shimano 105 hubs on a 32 spoke rim...Zipp 303s are always a good choice but this is a 9-speed rear. Which means a 10-speed conversion and pretty soon I might as well just buy a new bike when it comes to cost involved. Maybe I'll just re-lace the front onto a new hoop and look like hobo.
Sandpaper?
How big is it? Pics?Yes, but the splinter indicates the structural integrity of the rim may be compromised.

I usually ride at 0230ish. Have the bike lit up like a runway ( about 2200 lumens between headlight, tail light and wheel lights)Off peak times. With the school year having started, I moved my rides to 1130a, otherwise I’d be hitting the road at 5a.
Just get on and pedal. 5-minutes, 15-minutes, or a few hours... it doesn't matter as long as you go and enjoy it enough to go again soon.when you're old and haven't pedaled in a couple of years and alot of hesitation [two rundowns already, uncountable spills] how do you get back into it? No sidewalks and fast traffic neighborhood. There is a greenway trail with seems like too many hotshots I used to do when it was more family friendly. Attitude adjustment suggestions maybe? Tks
I have circulation issues in my legs so I bought an e-bike. I never go all electric, just use the lowest setting and it gets me up some steep hills that I otherwise could not pedal. I haven't ridden a bike in years but I've put over 500 miles on it in the last 9 weeks (recently laid off so plenty of time).when you're old and haven't pedaled in a couple of years and alot of hesitation [two rundowns already, uncountable spills] how do you get back into it?
