I recall when i bought my bike the front tube was totally detached from the tire and the wheel and as well, it was that bad, so i tried patching it up, even at that it still less air the next day, so i just had to buy a new tube at once, then like after months i observe the back tire was also running out of air, then one morning, i woke up to a flat tire, i was close to being late to work thanks to my neighbour who knew how to patch tubes, so he handled it.
I never knew if the guy knew how to do it well, i have literally had to be using the hand pump almost on a daily, pump it today by tomorrow i'll have to pump it again, I don't know maybe what causes it is because i live in the rural part of the state, so most of the time my tire picks up tiny pins that push through the tyre upto the tube so the entire air runs out, or maybe i just had a bad tube and tyre that needs to be replaced.
This is how bad it gets when out of air everything just detatached at once
So this day it was totally in a nad state, so i had to lift the bicycle up ride it on the back tire to the repairman's shop, from were i live is like three Kilometer apart and it was too heavy for me, the sun was up, it was on a hot afternoon.
Then the repairman quickly loosen the tire removed the tube and immediately saw the spot were a very tiny pin had pearsed the tyre and the tube, he ran hid hands over again and found another spot, then he tried checking the tyre to find the pin, he found it,
I was surprised at how such a tiny pin could pearsed through the tyre and into the tube, he laughed so hard and told me that its very possible , when the tube is pumped it becomes very light and so becomes easy for any slightest pin or anything to pass through.
Right now i'm planning on buying a new tube for the rear wheel cause all these frustration of patching a tube here and there won't be necessary, i'm actually tired of doing that, maybe later i can think of buying a new tyre, but for now i don't think i have the money for it.
