No Carbon Wednesday: Busted Tube


Usually there isn't anything interesting about a busted inner tube, they get holes and go flat all the time. This one is a little different; I installed it and then wheel starting making strange sounds. After some investigation I found that the tube was full of dirt. No idea how it got in there.

I have never seen that happen in all my years riding.

Was there any hidden gold in that dirt?

From some disgruntled employee no doubt.
Chinese / Taiwan dirt?

Shenanigans! Shenanigans I say! Tubes come flat packed in boxes so this sort of thing just doesn't happen without outside help.

Heh, reminds me of a prank I played on a bud once. I filled his innertube with jingle bells. Made a small incision, filled tube, patched. You shoulda seen the look on his face when we started rolling at the trailhead.
