[QUOTE="charismaticmegafauna, post: 258995, member: 665"] Not very. He didn't do you much of a favor. There have been 'radial' inner tubes which are necessary for tube-type radial tires -- but, most of that is now history. Even if he had a radial tube, your tire (probably?) wasn't designed for one. I don't know what his problem was? -- but, the typical and effective repair would've been a plug of some sort. Bottom line: tubes are famous for 'blow-outs' (remember those?) -- modern tubeless tires may go flat from a puncture (or, some other reason) but usually slowly and hardly ever go "BANG". [/QUOTE]
