I've been hard-riding both bikes the past couple of weeks, 20-30 miles round-trip at least four days per week.
Both bikes had some old tires on them. (The '72 had original Schwinn tires) Both of them have blown tires on me. The '72 dry-rotted at the bead seal and let the steel strings out on the rear. The '75 got a bulge in the front tire and it blew on the last two miles of a 30-mile cruise.
Enough. I got four new Schwalbe's and have them on the '72. Big Blue gets new shoes tomorrow afternoon.
Ride On,
Dan
