indianatrials Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Cheapest tubes you can get, light and cheap. 18" for rear mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Check your tyre for thorns, glass, or rips. Check your rim for burrs, spokes poking through the rim tape, etc. check the rim tape to make sure it's in one piece and just generally make sure that everything is how it should be. Worst comes to worse pump the tyre up a bit and it should make things better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncy H Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have noticed that when I got my first bike I ran really cheap tubes and they would pop all the time, however now in front and rear I have heavy duty type ones(cheng shin) which are much fatter and have not had a puncture since well I can't remember, but it was before christmas. Even though I ride harder etc now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 My front tyre is looking worse for wear so probs that a main problem.Well then why post? Surely it's simple to just look at your bike and see that it's f**ked, rather than post on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bob Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 down hill inner tubes. just so strong not to expensive either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Does anyone here have the problem of inner tubes bursting after patching them up? I'm using a 20"x1.75-2.125 in my back wheel and it always rip along the puncture hole so I have to use a new tube everytime.And a quick question, which 20"/19" innertube had the words cheng shin on it? I brought the maxxis welterweight ones of tarty thinking they were the same as my old tube, which was fatter than usual and had the words cheng shin on it. Wasn't the Kenda 19" downhill tube was it?

JonMack Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I never patch tubes, always just replace them, it's not worth the hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I always patch them, I find it easier just to take one side of the tyre off rather than take the wheel out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I always patch them, I find it easier just to take one side of the tyre off rather than take the wheel out.Lazy b*****d! I patch if its a thorn or a very, very small pinch - If its a proper pinch (not done it in probably 3-4 years now) then I bin the tube and put a new one in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
