Road bike wheels?
♥Jennifer♥ asked:
OK OK so dont give me hell about owning this bike. I have a Schwinn Prelude from Target. I am now seeing that the wheels/ rims are a problem. They are constantly popping the inner tube. I can’t afford (right now) the bike I really want (a 650 Felt), so I was thinking about buying new wheels. I need to find quality wheel set for cheep, like 100 bucks or less. I would like to buy new wheels so I can ride for now and save for a new bike later.
Or if I cant find wheels what about the rim tape? Can I double or triple the amount of tape on the rim to protect against popping the innertube. All I did today was take my bike from the trainer inside to the garage to inflate the tires, left home and came back and the tires were blown out.

Or if there is something else I can do please suggest.
yea its kinda like blown out.. there are holes in the rim where the spokes are… the spokes are tight.. checked thoes.. when I inflate the innertube the pops or blowes are big holes where the holes in the rim are it looks like the inner tube is being sucked into the hole and blowing…
