I recently took my bicycle to a bike shop after I got a lot of punctures to get some puncture proofing installed.
They suggested a puncture proof inner tube and some slime. I also asked for a puncture proof liner as well for added puncture proofing.
Anyway ever since the bicycle has reduced speed by a lot (something like over 30%) which because it has very limited power already makes it really not good enough any more and requires a lot more assistance. Rolling speed is down too so it's not a battery or motor issue.
I assume this is probably due to the puncture proof liner rather than the new inner tube or the slime.
I am about to try to take it out but can anyone confirm experiences like this with puncture proof liners? (I don't know the brand but the bicycle shops seems to sell quality items).
Is there any chance it will become a lot better after more riding, so far I only went on one longer ride and a few short test rides to reduce the battery charge.
The tyre is the CST Traveller City Classic 40-622 700x360. I pump it up to about 75psi. This is unchanged so it's not because of the tyre.
