Connor Powell Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 If your using mod the kenda Dh 19" is MASSIVE, its 4.25" wide i think? But all it is is alot thicker and wider and is supposed to reduce how many pinch flats, When i ran one in an echo tyre it was almost immpossible to puncture as echo have such thick sidewalls and the tube was so thick it never pinched.

brad1995 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 It's because of the wideness of them and they also are very thick to take the strains of trials riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trials ryan Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I use bmx innertubes but i would think some of the dh riders terain they will need strong innertubes, so i guess its for a lack of punctures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
