Things that make you frown :(

Wanted to buy a new CSU for my Fox 36 about a year ago, shopped around and could have bought it new for $300, but I decided that, since my repair was rated as functional as new by Fox when they serviced it, I would take a pass. Went shopping for it...it’s now almost $600!
 
Brand New tire lasted exactly 5 rides and maybe 150 miles. 🤬

Second time in the month the other tire that got cut lasted maybe 3 weeks.

Something clearly sliced it and then the tube pushed thru and blew out the sidewall. It exploded so loud it scared the shit out of me and the person I was riding with today. Lucky it was on a flat road. Pun NOT intended. FML

Ya gonna' patch it from the inside?
I did to my studded tire since it was so expensive, and it worked fine.
I glued a large patch inside the tire and glued the rip closed and it's lasted all year.

Not sure I really want to take a chance with higher PSI on a road tire just not worth the risk if that blows out when I’m on a fast downhill I’m F*cked.

Iv done it on road tires with tubes before with good luck. Not sure how bad yours is but some support added to the inside is all you need
