Question:

I ordered some new Zipp wheels from a discounter online. I got a great price but when I received the wheels and mounted the tires, they won't hold air. I have put six tubes in the back wheel and after I get about 100 PSI of pressure in the tube, it goes flat.

I was so excited, the tires mounted so easily I didn't even need tire levers so could I have a bad batch of tubes?
