Last Kenda tire EVAR
I had a Kwest blow out on the sidewall yesterday providing me with a dime sized hole in the tube, and a mile walk to the bike shop (and lucky I was that close).

I had to buy a cheap low pressure iso406, and I had them order me a Schwalbe touring tire to replace it, as I will never put another Kenda product on my bike again, this being the second one I have had fail due to casing rupture.

1. I'd say "that blows" but I doubt I could keep a straight face.
:evilgrin:

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that. That has got to really be annoying. I haven't had a blowout in ages so I figure that I'll be due before long. Hope you can avoid future problems for a while now. :)

2. It sucked too
I really do like to run high pressure, and the temporary kenda on the front at 45 psi is bringing me down.

Next week the new shwalbe marathon gets here, and it is back to a nice low rolling resistance tire.

A picture of the new tire...

BTW, for bent riders, hostelshoppe rocks.
