Yikes! Been over 3 months since I was last posting.
Squirt has enjoyed the bike so far. Oddly, the rear tire went 100% flat and wouldn't hold air.
Pulled it yesterday and found the valve stem completely torn off!
I noticed the wheel doesn't have rim locks. Yup, tire spun on wheel and tore off stem.
When buying the new tube, the guy said it will happen again so he suggested doing the old drag racer stunt of drilling the wheels and installing screws.
I picked up a package of hex headed 1/2" metal screws and drilled/installed (4) on each side for a total of eight.
Seems to be working so far. Sheesh! The amount of tinkering just keeps going.
:wink:
