Bought my new bike 5 days ago, went into the garage today and

You didn't keep the tires topped off enough and caught a pair of slow-leak pinch-flats.

Looked at it again and there are small thorns sticking in it. Can this be the reason? They are really small (maybe a few mm). What kind of flimsy MTB cant withstand a few baby thorns???

Your inferior shit tires apparrently

>>1000591
nice name friendo, they are schwalbe tires.

Here's why this happened: YOU ARE YOUNG AND DUMB. Here's how to counter-act being young and dumb:
o Stay on the pavement
o Pay attention to where you're riding so you don't run over things that will puncture your tires
o Accept that it's going to happen sometimes no matter what you do, and don't get all upset over it

>he thinks there's such a thing as 'puncture proof tires'
>he thinks there's such a thing as 'puncture proof tubes'
>he thinks you can do anything to stop all punctures
I'd say that was 'cute' or 'adorable' if it wasn't absolutely 'sad' and 'naive'.

You want to never get punctures, ever again? Here's how: NEVER RIDE YOUR BIKE. EVER.

Punctures happen. Deal with it.

When I bought my bike they came with Schwalbe lugano tires at around 4 bar,pumped them up to 8,5,rode 360 Km spread around 5 rides.
And them my tube on the rear one blew up.

Blame the dumbfucks who did a shit job at mounting tires

My own mounted Schwalbe professional bike tires have been going stronk for over 2000 Km now

Goathead thorns are the bane of mountain bikers. In areas that have them it is an incentive to go tubeless.

>>1000609

that's what you get for buying shit tier meme brand tires

continental™ Gatorskins® are the premier tire for puncture resistance

been riding mine for 400k miles, good as new, zero flats, only had to pump them up twice

>>1000580
Shameful. Kill yourself immediately. You don't deserve a bike if this bugs you.

>>1000776
Can't tell if you are actually claiming to have ridden your bike 400,000 miles or if you are implying that 400 miles is a lot.

>>1000784
He's implying he's 400 kilogram

Schwalbe shill, how do you feel about Schwalbe One clinchers?

>>1000611
Can try go tubeless or sealed-tube, doesn't avoid all punctures but sure do most of the small fuckers and is pretty easy to patch a tire if the hole is big enough not to seal.

>>1001067
Nevar used them.

>>1000580
Where do you live faggot? Like other poster said goatherds thorns are fucking from the devil. I live in Utah. Tried mtb. Fucking flats all the time. Back to road fagging

>>1000588
Yes that can cause it, take them out, I like using a little swiss army knife to get them out if I can't by hand
Run fingers along inside of tire afterward to make sure you didn't miss any
