pashley-phil Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Does anyone or has anyone ever used a halo extra safe downhill tube for trials? They are 3mm think so i'd guess they are quite heavy?http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Halo-DH-Extra-Safe-I...id=p3286.c0.m14If none of you recommend this inner tube which one should i think about buying how about a Hutchinson Anti Puncture Reinforced Tube, or Intense Tyre Systems Fro Tube LINK: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Categor...rentPageIndex=0Thats the first thing, now for the second, the rear tyre, whats people running? I've got a single ply maxxis hi roller. All i can say is i hate it, i like the grip but keep getting punchers lately. any advive on a puncher proof set up? phil Edited October 7, 2009 by pashley-phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I use a downhill tube (can't remember what make.... maxxis I think) and a dual ply high roller. I haven't had a puncture with this set up. And I have only ever had one puncture with a downhill tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pashley-phil Posted October 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 so i guess the halo 3mm is a bit of an over kill, perhaps i should just get a dh one thats about 1.5mm think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 to be honest i would worry more about how wide it is imeen if its 3 mill thick but an inch wide it needs to strech an inch an half but if its 1.5 mill but like 3 inch wide it aint gunna strech atall my maxxis one DH tube is beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hehe, puncher.Get a tyre with good sidewalls and you can run lighter tubes. I have a high roller and a bontrager tube, which is pretty much an average tube, and I've not pinched it.No, I have, once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben John-Hynes Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Halfords 2.1-2.5 tube. I've been running them since I can remember and hardly EVER pinch. What tyre you got at the moment? If it's a single walled one, that's why! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Maxxis or nokian DH/freeride tubes come in 2.5" width which should be fine for single ply use. I'd get a Dual ply tyre and a normal tube, if you do pinch the tubes cost a lot less. But then the easiet way is to learn to ride smoother, i know its a pain in the ass, but i've run continental rubber queens and a single ply kenda for a combined 6 months with a cheap normal 2.1 tube and i think i punctured the conti once. Finesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogz- Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have run Halo innertubes are really good for dj and other mtb type activitys, might be a bit 2 much for trials. . . tyre with thick side walls for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
