I heard folks say that bad tubes was the Chinese guy making the tubes fault.
Then I remembered that China has millions or billions of bikes in country so they know how to make GOOD inner tubes! ... if the price is right.
Ain't so?
I also have a set of 600 16s on the Coupe ... Tubes are more than 60 years old ... no leaks.
Did you know that MBA stands for Masters in Bean Accounting?

Benson, you are spot on. Bean counters have a lot to answer for. It's all about the $ at the end of the financial year and to hell with the longer term. Look at how reliant we have all become on China and how they are now using that to squeeze us - (us more than you.)
