My brother’s gone to fix my inner tube and we’ve found 8 of these identical slits next to each other around the inner tube all in the middle part. Theres no damage to the rim, what’s caused this?

Es un clásico, seguramente peñiscaste con los desmontadores.
PINCH
These are pinch flats. Can happen with poor installation or running too low tire pressure
You might want to clean the inside of your tire before you put the tube in. You could have, glass, or small pebbles, or plastic, anything. It’s a puncture from something.
Pinch flat, aka snake-bite flat. Pressure too low in tire.
Snakebites. Pressure is too low.
Snek 🐍
Always check your rims for snakes before riding
Pinchy pinch.
Pretty common. You have tiny vampires in your area. Rub garlic on the tires and your armpits.
Anyone else not had coffee yet and spend too much time looking for damage in the orange circled part as well?
This or you couldve accidentally pinched with the lever if youre not quite used to putting in the tube with a new, tight tire.
*”this” being your tires pressure was too low and it pinched itself upon bottoming out, OR you pinched it upon installation with the lever
Are the punctures facing the outside of the tire (where the road is) or the inside (where the rim is)?
Eight snake bites? Literally not possible. It’s got to be spoke holes. What is the condition of the rim strip?
How is the condition of your rim tape? I suspect that by looking at the intervals between punctures that the spokes are doing this, and the rim tape is either not there or is in poor condition.
Normally caused by holes.
Looks like rim strip fail. I would replace the rim strip with a more beefy one. The PSI you had may have been too much for that rim strip. People that are saying they’re snakebites need to explain how 8 snakebites are in one spot.
