And why are mine going bad from the inside?
you can pin-point the exact spot on your tire or rim that is causing the flat.
when you get a flat.....mark your tire at the valve stem, with a soapstone, chalk, tape....whatever.... it gives you a reference point of where your tube was...(an old tire shop trick)
when you remove your tire & tube...re inflate your tube & find the leak....then you can look inside your tire (for thorns or other punctures) & rim (for protruding spokes or imperfections of the rim, burrs etc)
I hate to see ya give up. It's prolly a simple fix. (maybe your local bike shop guys could help? my LBS guy taught me how to service/rebuild a coaster brake hub, & it only cost a 30 pack of cold beer. (and we shared it during class!! )
trust me....it gets better!!
for the record.....I weigh a robust 240+.... & my last flat tire (August of 2007, noon....HOT!) left me pushing Rusty, with my trailer loaded with my laundry, for over a mile.
