Fishy Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Think the guy rides a mod though, can you get one that fat for a mod? this is another reason to change to stock but what ever floats your boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watto Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 i think there is a quite large mod tube scroll down a bit and its the maxxis trials tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilky_mod_legend2 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 depends what you ride rele?because for stock there are sooooo many tubes to pick from, but i would say... get the maxxis down hill tube, super thick and doesnt pinch easyly,for a mod i would say go for halo tubes, because there nice and fat and also they have a great pinch protection your tyre can roll and you dont have to worry abot that gay sound pissssssssssssssssssssssshope this helped wilky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Lee Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 If they're definitley pinch flats then try a bit more ir in your tyres and use your knees a little more Otherwise check your rims for any sharp edges/spokes sticking up that could be pucturing the tube. Also never underestimate the importance of a good rim tape, it needs to be a good thickness and be the full width of the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YAJIB Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 dont know if this any use to u but it works for me anyway:if you dont like having heavy downhill tubes in like most people do try drilling another hole in your rim and fit 2 inner tubes so if you get a puncture you have another to ride with.Its so much easier cos i dont like downhill tubes in and i kept getting punctures so i came up with this soloution because if your out on a ride and you do get a puncture it ruins your whole day.

el curevo Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I use hutchingson green dh tubes. Very very good tube and light weight too. Much lighter than my irc dh tubes i used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sembo_trials Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 (edited) i keep getting flat tyres and i was just wondering if self healing inner tubes are any good? hi there, you are right in making a topic on this because everyone knows innertubes need to be good and strong, so therefore so therefore i thick you should purchase a continental innertube which are superb. the link below is not the one i have but this one is strong aswell. if u contact me on mesanger i will try find the one i have because mine is 'snake bite proof' innertube Edited January 3, 2006 by sembo_trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two downhill tubes is like a KG added to your rear end though which is stoopid! weight lifting lolgot a duro tube 3 inches wide with a 2.5 tyre, no pinches for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 2 Normal tubes weigh less than one DH tube though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petit_pablo Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I use a maxxis 2.5-2.7 tube. Try and find a tube thats aimmed at tyres wider than yours. That way the tube wont be under so much stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
