Bicycle Blowout
Bicycle front tire blowout?
If the tires is properly inflated, what would cause this blowout? In some places you get these little rocks and some of them are sharp. Theoretically can such pebbles put out your front tire on a road bike? What happens if you are going like 60mph at the time?
Blowouts are caused by 3 things: Puncture from a foreign object, the tube being "pinched" between the tire and the rim when you hit something like a pothole pretty hard, and from improper installation. What's interesting is that I almost never get a flat in the front tire. They are almost always in the rear tire. I figure the reasons for that are:
1. The front tire goes over a foreign object in the road and "sets it upright" into a good position to get the back tire.
2. The back tire supports much more weight than the front tire, making it more "pinchable."
3. Murphy's Law: It's much easier to remove and reinstall the front tire, so that's why flats always happen in the rear tire.
4. When you fix a flat on the rear tire, it's easy to get oily grease all over your cycling clothes. This could be a conspiracy among the laundry soap manufacturers, just like the way that the oil companies are screwing all of us now.

Motorcycle Tire Care for Your Safety
Your motorcycle tires will last longer if you do weekly or monthly checks of your tires. You need to ensure that the walls of the tires are not cracked or have cuts in them.
One important check is the air pressure of your tire. Always maintain the proper pressure and you will have a safer ride. Also, the motorcycle will ride better and perform as it should. Never let the air pressure get so low that you have a hard time controlling the bike.
Also, when the tire has low air pressure it can cause the tire to separate and cause blowouts. The cause of the blowout is due to the tire heating up because of not maintaining proper air pressure.
Tread wear of your tires is very important. Without enough tread you are asking for a accident. Most manufactures recommend that a tread depth of 32 seconds of an inch is low enough. When they are at this depth its time to replace the tire.
I know people ride in their car with bald tires but its not a good practice with a motorcycle. You only have two tires and you need them both to prevent an accident. Play it safe and make sure you have the correct tread depth.
Your rims play a important part in helping your tires last longer and in shape. If you have spoke rims its a must to ensure that the spokes are tighten correctly. I would recommend a professional tighten them because they have the right equipment and know how. You may have tighten the spokes on your bicycle but there's more at stake when you have a motorcycle.
If you have solid rims they can become dent or out of line which will cause your tire to wear faster and cause them to wobble. This will make it very unsafe to drive. Replace them immediately; never ride a motorcycle with bent rims.
Don't mix your tire because this can cause problems. When you replace your tires they should both be the same size, rating, and type. The performance of your motorcycle will be better with tires that are the same. Safer also.
When you purchase your tires you need to decide what kind of riding you will be doing. Motorcycle tires are designed for the type of riding the individual will do. Maybe you ride on dirt roads alot. In that case you would want a tire with softer rubber. To ride the open road you need a firmer tire for better traction and control. So be sure and purchase the right tire for the right pavement.
Deciding and mainting your motorcycle tires is a very important decision. Don't take it lightly and you will have many safe miles.
