Hello together!
I could use some help.
Is the rim (or the „holes“ in the rim) the reason for my flat tire?
I tried to fix it but it didn’t hold for 24 hours.
I use fairly much pressure, like 4-5 bar and maybe I press the inner tube into the rim?
Hope that is an usefull description.
Greetings

I’d suggest new rim tape. You shouldn’t be able to see the spokes through it, could be the reason for your flat

Those spoke holes should not be exposed.

New tape and optionally metal stickers over the spoke holes

Did you look at the rim to see if the spokes are covered by tape? Have you inspected the inside of the tire to see if anything sharp is imbedded in it?

You need to double up the rim tape or plug the holes – looks like your high pressure is bursting your rime tape with all the holes in it 🤓

Yep.

Maybe not for this specific one, but sooner or later it will damage the inner tube. Rim tape to be replaced.
