Took the Dew back to Bikenetic after experiencing first a flat, then (after getting a new tube at Spokes) a slow leak on the rear. They pointed out that the tire was almost smooth, and was beginning to tear, and suggested I buy a new one, which I did. I have had the bike about 21 months, and have ridden I guess over 2000 miles.
Though I am not a gutter bunny, I probably do ride in bad spots too much – shoulders, terrible pavement on Maine Avenue (and until recently North Hampton) unswept bike lanes, etc. Is that why I am having problems, or was the Dew tire just not meant to last?
