[Which Rear Tyre To Purchase....?]

Is the rim ground? If so, make sure the edge of the rim isn't sharp/has any bits of metal sticking out that could be puncturing the tube.

Had this problem with an old wheel that was pretty shot, got a new one and went around the rim with some sandpaper after a grind and I haven't had a puncture for almost a year now!

Hmmmmmmm, thinking about it that could potentially be the problem......will have a look - thanks!

First thing is what tyre are you running now? The maxxis tyres are generaly very good at stopping punctures, however if you still ride like a tank they will still pinch, it might also help to try and ride smoother, I have ran very light weight tyres before and managed to not puncture them, and I am around 19st!

I'd personally say get some TryAlls , great bounce , nice thick sidewalls and don't puncture easily

what this guy said... I ride like I'm angry at the floor and I only just got my first puncture in them on Sunday after 4 months of using them

I would have to agree i run a sticky on my stock and its awsom i run around 20 psi sn i have yet to get a pinch or any other puncture for that matter

Thanks very much for the comments lads. Adam, yeah i am working on getting smoother, i'm about 14 stone myself so no lightly. I'm not a heavy rider but could always be smoother, some of these flats have been ridiculous though - yesterday i hung up the tiniest bit up a set of stairs and it tore a huge hole in the tube! I think its a Maxxis tyre i've got on, but must be a single ply - only got the bike second hand a few weeks ago. Anyway cheers for the feedback, will probs go with try-all or a dual ply maxxis. Cheers!

Getting sick of having to change my rear tube every half an hour - think its time to purchase a new one! Just wanted a bit of advice on what to get. I ride a stock and run the back at about 25psi, ideally looking to spend no more than £35, but if thats a bit unrealistic, then please let me know. Just want a tyre thats amazing against pinch flats, with a half decent tread. I did look on tarty and found this one-people's thoughts? Comments would be well appreciated.

[Thing People Have Have Said To You While Riding?]

I had quite a good one yesterday actually, it was, "Aren't you a bit old to be riding a bmx mate?" (i'm 23 btw) to which i just replied, "No, and its not a bmx." then rode off. What a f*cking bell.

[Riding Trials Again After A Few Years....looking For Riders In The Sur]

Hey guys and gals,

As the title says i've just started riding trials again after about 3 years - bought a 2nd hand stock a few weeks ago. Its coming back relatively quickly, but always found progression better when riding with others and obviously its more fun! So yeah, hit me up if you live in the Surrey/Guildford area and fancy a ride! Cheers!

[Post A Video Of Todays Riding]

Bought a second hand bike a few weeks ago after not being on one for over 3 years-thought this summer would be as good as any to start riding again! Roughly 8 foot (quite big for me) gap down at an awesome little place i found in the kent area. Play from 30 secs in:
