Echo-Scott Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 A heavy duty tube should do the trick, Or if you get dual ply tyres. There supposed to help. Equally you could get a dual ply tyre with a heavy duty tube, Then your sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txt2007 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 it'd help if you didn't ride like a total basher... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) maybe if you get this oneit seems abit like the stock version of the kenda dhbeing the heaviest tube helps too Edited February 22, 2009 by Jamie_Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispyboy Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Try a motobike innertube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 these or these your best buying 5 and then selling a couple off to mates and saving a few spare. plus postage is free on CRC the nokians are lighter (and cheaper) but the maxxis tubes are prety much invincible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxis26 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) im using kendas heavy duty tubes, one lasted me 9 months without fail+ im also using a maxxis high roller 2.35 tyre single ply Edited February 22, 2009 by maxxis26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i use a nokian lightweight tube and a single ply 2.35 high roller, runs absolutely fine, run about 20psi according to my pump. dont be such a savage rider and learn to ride a bit bit smoother?

N.Wood Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Or if you wanna carry on being a basher, get a Dual Ply Maxxis/Michelin Comp24/Continental Rain king/Der Kaiser and run whatever tube you like.If you still puncture you either need to run higher pressure and/or stop being a basher.

shamus Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I was the king of punctures. now i religiously run dual ply/ really thick sidewalls along with a paneracer super DH tube (think i got it at CRC.)Now I havent punctured for as long as i remember. This means that I no longer worry about punctures and can, instead, enjoy the ride, which is what its all about.But yeah stop being a basher if you can help it. Also when you are at a happy PSI, wang another couple in for safe gaurding! Edited February 23, 2009 by shamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley-Wood Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i used to get like 6 in one day lol, i just used to put my bike down and itll get a punture, then i changed my tube to a halfords, upgraded rim tape to ducktape lol and now i get like one a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i used to get like 6 in one day lol, i just used to put my bike down and itll get a punture, then i changed my tube to a halfords, upgraded rim tape to ducktape lol and now i get like one a month Well Halfords innertubes are just your standard rebranded "Cheng-Shin" tube, placebo effect you've got there.Or your spokes cause a lot of punctures.

Gogz- Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I use Halo innertube in my jump bike and there Hench . I once had one on my bmx I lasted a year before I rimmed it and put a flat spot in the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengsmelly Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 well a heavy duty tube could be the way to go but even bashers get punctures with them i should know. so itsteads of fixing tubes all the time and using heavy duty i thought its time you change my technique and be smooth! took my time but now i use a shit tube and hardly get puntures. so a change in technique would take a while but is uch better in the long run.

Echo-Scott Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 When my mate did that we didnt find it to work. We found that instead of the tyre pinching the tube, The other tube pinched it even more Dont know if we did something weird, But thats just what happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Manning Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I'm running a Schwalbe Big Betty tyre with a Schwalbe heavy duty tube. Been running it since last October and had 1 puncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy_k Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 What pressure do you run daz? I usually run less than 20psi. I have a dual ply Minion with a freeride tube (bit lighter than a downhill tube). I've only had 1 or 2 flats and I'm probably heavier than you too.jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaceman Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've been told an interesting tip. There are two variations on how you could fit it in, but both works the same.1. Take an old tube, cut away the valve section. So it's like a long rubber tube now.Line this tube onto the inside of the tyre. Then fit the new tube in. Or...2. Take an old tube, cut away the valve section. Then make a slit along the entire tube.Wrap it over the new tube, and fit it in the tyre.I haven't tried it yet, but I figure that option 2 would give sidewall protection than option 1. It should work like a downhill tube, as you're "increasing" the thickness of the tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
