chrisbikefix Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 you could be running your tyres to low. i find tyre choice is important. Any tyre with a really fin sidewall is not that good. irc elgato, kujo, maxis hollyrollers or minions are great tyres, but inner tubes (dh) can make a big difference. I used to cut old side walls of tyres and put them in my wheels too. that worked well but did make the bike really heavy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Hops_Alot Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Yeah im running a maxis highroller on the back, but i'll proberly buy a Dh maxis tube off tarty, they look pretty good.Edit; i'm also running my tyres a little harder because they used to be too flat.

Muel Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Put old tubes around the outside of you current tube, like slice them down the inside and remove the valve.Worked back in my old BMX days, back in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojo Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 This will be my 3rd in 2 months.You really have got of lightly with that number, it was not unheard of me getting 2/3 in a week. lol. But DH tubes really seem to be the best thing to help reduce them. Hope it helps. Rojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
