bad trip! I was checking my tire pressure when I was removing the pito cap.. pati yung humahawak o ewan basta yung buong cap natanggal! except for the rubber itself.. so imagine yung cap... tapos diba may thread... yung thread itself sumama sa cap!

Bad trip noh! palit tuloy ako ng gulong... napa excercise ako dun ah! Bakit kaya ganun? I plan to replace all my pito to steel tomorrow yung parang sa mags... pwede kaya...

napaexcercise ako dun ah! :shock:

ay nako ser mdpo, i can relate! :mrgreen: My sympathies. anyway, im sure you dont need to go to the gym anytime soon :D

Anyways, regarding the pito, yup, pwedeng pwede nyo palitan yan. The nice "pito"s ive seen are in Cats Accessories near the EDSA-Ortigas intersection, Besides PGA Cars. Medyo mahal lang though. around 200* yung bakal na threaded tapos merong o-ring.

Pwede po palitan ng stainless tire valves. Baka lumutong yung goma na kumakapit sa thread ng tire valve. If I could remember it right it was around P100.- sa Entire Tire Supply. Ordinary tire valves would be around P20-P25. Kahit naman stainless matatanggal din katagalan. Tire valves should be changed at the same time with your tires. :D

ngek ganun! aysus! siguro nga... napagamit ko tuloy spare ko... naku safe pa kaya itakbo spare ko.. baka malutong narin yung goma! 6 years na kasi hehehe

ser, nagde-deteriorate po talaga ang rubber. Thats why its not advisable to get old stock na tires (5 years +) even if brand new :D

**Ungas** · January 22nd, 2003 11:17 PM

Pwede naman itakbo yung spare as long as under 40 km/h ang speed and as long as may hangin po ang reserve tire. :D

ok naman nakarating naman ako ng buhay hehhe balik na yung tire ko... di naman na-aarawan yung spare tire lulutong parin kaya ito??? :roll:

**pajerokid** · January 23rd, 2003 09:14 PM

sir, i've read somewhere that rubber tires release some sort of gas which makes it "malutong" over time...... parang crispy pata baga? hehehhe :mrgreen:

**mdpo** · January 23rd, 2003 09:22 PM

According to my erpats who use to work with BFG... the best way to see if your tires is still okay is there are no apparent "crack/s" pa. The tires will have these if they are too old na....they call it "weather check". That means kahit hindi naaarawan....these rubbers can resist high temp and UV radiations but as they grow old they'll have these cracks....by this time affected na ang integrity nito to "hold" under pressure. It would also expose the nylon treads (inside me bias yun na made of nylon treads or steel braids - steel belted). They nylon treads will easily deteriorate na...and the steel belts will easily loosen out na (kasi hindi naman ito welded together, naka wound around lang).

my 2 cents.
