Problems with punch...26 Holyroller tyres

[Marchi.uk]

Hi streeters,

From when I mounted the Holyroller, I punch a lot of tubes, it's really boring change all times tubes and tubes!
May be I used wrong pression inside the tyres, so how many bars are ok?
Is that a common problem also for you, resulting from the Holyroller?
Thanks.

I run about 30psi (like 2.1 bar) in my holy rollers and don't get many punctures. Maybe try a DH tube and a bit more pressure though.

thanks man.
I ride at 2.2, with 2.1(2.5 airwave dh tubes. Are a bit more thick but not too much like a real DH tube, (may be too heavy).
Tomorrow I try to put more pression inside, if continue may be I will try to change tyre, but I don't know which one can substitute

my maxxis..
Many thanks for your reply.
Cheers.

I puncture a alot as I'm not a smooth rider.

I run 60 psi for street its much better for spins and speed, but Im not very trialsy. Try getting a 3 inch downhill tube, even saying that there is a big difference in wall thickness between different downhill tubes. I have some really thick ones but I cant remember who make them other downhill tubes aren't even half as thick.

If those things don't help use a DMR Moto RT 2.4, its thicker and much heavier than a holy roller and feels much nicer to ride in my opinion (gripper and much more pop, rolls and corners nicer too).

Thank you "ooo"...
I bought just now a Tioga FS 100 Skidrow 2.3x26. Can be a good compromise between rolls/price/weight. So If work it's ok. If don't I will try the DMR...thank you for your suggestion.
