I noticed a defective tire after fixing a flat, where the bead parted only after riding it for a couple hundred miles. Are there any standards that components undergo before they get spec’d on a bike?
Tires take a lot of abuse and see a lot of wear and tear. It might even be possible that the bead separated from tire because of the flat. It is very difficult to determine how long a tire should last, as it depends on pressure that is used, type of terrain ridden on, riding style, and weather conditions. However, JAMIS tests every product before we will spec it on a bike to be sure that it meets our standards.
