It looks like you may need new rim tape
Pal, you need some rim tape! ASAP!
What’s your rim tape like? Those dimples look to be the tube expanding into the spoke holes of the rim
Need a rim strip when running tubes
looks like your rim tape is not working like it should
I use 75 psi.
That happens to mine too. But they definitely don’t explode. So I guess like yours but to a much lesser degree. You probably need new/better rim tape.
You need better rim tape.
I’m going to say rim tape.
Yeah rim tape is weak asf of completely missing
You need new rim tape. I have used medical tape, duct tape and even just many layers of cellophane tape (the regular office tape) with success, it just needs to be strong enough to bridge the gap. Butyl can handle more sharpness.
This tube is dead though.
If they’re good enough for safe sex then they’re good enough for tires.
I had the same thing with regular tubes… needed some new rim strips
Better rim tape needed.
Hey man, everyone is saying rim tape, but have you tried finding where the actual puncture is? Is it a snake bite (pinch flat), or is it at a dimple? I haven’t replaced my rim tape in 8 years on clincher rim brake wheels and my tape is similar, never gotten a flat from that being an issue. The other thing is, if you’re at 75 psi on 23-25mm tires, you’re likely too low (pinch flat). Can you confirm where the flat is?
Excessive rimming.
