The Ink-Pot and the Palette

damn! that's so frustrating!!! (and maybe you should get one of those removable trunk bike racks at some point? 'cause then, you know, you could take it up to that beach we went to and ride around there!)

i agree that i has to be some kind of defect on the rim itself. or maybe the bike tire is bad? like maybe there's an edge that's not quite meeting the rim properly and therefore any time you hit a bump, the inner tube gets pressed against the rim and causes the flat. is the hole for the flat always along the side of the tire? 'cause i think that would indicate the rim being the problem...

i'm sure you've tested using the correct air pressure already, right?

hope this gets figured out already! and does your bike come with a factory warranty of some type? maybe the manufacturer can help?
