Tire Replacement


I've been getting flats on my front bicycle tire regularly over the past two or three weeks. Fortunately, there haven't been any on the rear tire during that time period. I suspected that it was time to replace the tires and I searched the blog to find out how long it's been since the tires were last replaced. A blogpost from July of 2024 gave the answer. As near as I can estimate, I've ridden 5,000 miles on the set I put on at that time. According to the post, 5,000 miles was about the same number that I had put on the earlier set.

It's still a week from payday, but I couldn't wait any longer to replace the front tire (and tube). Since I haven't gotten any flats on the rear, I think I can hold off changing the rear tire for another week.

I'm making a note of the total miles on my bicycle app.. I can reference this post to keep a more accurate count of the mileage between tire replacment.
8,802 miles.
The cost to replace the tire and tube (including labor) came to ₱ 1,590. That doesn't include the ₱50 tip.
