ratrials Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Getting sick of having to change my rear tube every half an hour - think its time to purchase a new one! Just wanted a bit of advice on what to get. I ride a stock and run the back at about 25psi, ideally looking to spend no more than £35, but if thats a bit unrealistic, then please let me know. Just want a tyre thats amazing against pinch flats, with a half decent tread. I did look on tarty and found this one-people's thoughts? Comments would be well appreciated.

Bigman Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 First thing is what tyre are you running now? The maxxis tyres are generaly very good at stopping punctures, however if you still ride like a tank they will still pinch, it might also help to try and ride smoother, I have ran very light weight tyres before and managed to not puncture them, and I am around 19st!

the mysterious leemur Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I'd personally say get some TryAlls , great bounce , nice thick sidewalls and don't puncture easily 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride like I'm angry at the floor and I only just got my first puncture in them on Sunday after 4 months of using them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supafly1982 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 might seem like a daft question but does anyone on trials run tubeless or do they burp too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam, yeah i am working on getting smoother, i'm about 14 stone myself so no lightly. I'm not a heavy rider but could always be smoother, some of these flats have been ridiculous though - yesterday i hung up the tiniest bit up a set of stairs and it tore a huge hole in the tube! I think its a Maxxis tyre i've got on, but must be a single ply - only got the bike second hand a few weeks ago. Anyway cheers for the feedback, will probs go with try-all or a dual ply maxxis.

dann2707 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Is the rim ground? If so, make sure the edge of the rim isn't sharp/has any bits of metal sticking out that could be puncturing the tube. Had this problem with an old wheel that was pretty shot, got a new one and went around the rim with some sandpaper after a grind and I haven't had a puncture for almost a year now!

CalopS Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Continental der keiser Bit expensive though but they last and have good sidewalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATRIAL Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 High roller ust .... unpunchable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 High roller ust .... unpunchable I have high rollers and i got a puncture last time i rode. I've got punctures before but that was a while back and I've hit some objects pretty hard and they haven't punctured. I think the other day was a one off because i also came off and landed funny on my foot and sprained/strained my foot. It was a bad day I can't offer much advice though I'm still using the same tyres that came with the bike when i first started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, you're right in that if you're consitantly puncturing a dual ply maxxis you need to be smoother or need some more pressure in there.
