So, i have a road bike. The tires are road bike tires. like the skinny kind. they worked for a few years then i inflated one too much and it popped.
so i got a new tube. the tube is like the presta valve kind. my old one did not have a presta valve it was just a 26 inch one. this one says 700c or something. so i think it might work. i put the tube in the tire and i got a presta valve adapter so it would pump up with my normal tire. so when i screwed the thing on and i pumped the psi shot up to as high as it would go! so i took it off. and then i unscrewed the presta valve thing (i had taken off the adapter) and then it did kinda the same thing but the tire was getting a little bigger but the psi was still like super high and it was going really slow and im afraid i might pop it! (i have popped 2 tires before).
so do you thing this is because the tire is the wrong size or what? IM VERY CONFUSED! please help
