Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 double up the innertube with a cut up old inner tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris mac Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 adding to what i said before...If you really hate running hard tyres, i know i do, you could just run them at yur chosen pressure and maybe take some tools and a puncture repair kit and just fix it when your out. OR you could buy another innertube take a pump, tyre leavers and spanner/alan key and change them around. This might cost a little more but will save you time waiting for the glue to dry then when you get home fix the puncture and use that innertube for the next ride you go on .I also suggest making sure you have enough/alot of tred on your tyres because running bald tyres normally results in getting punctures more frequently.hello, how did you know that i have a bald tyre on the back? you must be a mind reader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Cable Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 ooooo and i always carry puncutre repiar kits around with me its just i HATE fixing puntures and the fact i miss alot of nice riding in my fravourate spots thanks guys I dont fix punctures, i just replace the tubes, that way it have less chance of blowing the patch out, and having to replace it. Just put a new tube in, there quite cheap.. From Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Hahaha, I know you too, anyway, tubes around dont come any cheaper than £4 Don't suppose anyone on here knows anywhere that sells 20" DH stylee tubes, something stupid thick, not bothered about weight.

spode@thinkbikes Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 hmm ive gapped to rails before with my solid tyre and ive stayed on nicely, i find it more stable, might just be my preference thoughI've never had problems either and people usually comment how hard I run my tyres. But I did that to stop tyre squirm on spinny tricks. I've had low pressure a couple of times where I've just gone out riding and forgotten to pump it up, and I've found on rails I was bouncing around all over the place!!I have generally thought that low pressure was cheating a little, as the extra bounce really does help. But since I changed my back wheel to an Onza hog, I have found the tyre feels naturally more bouncy anyway - whatever the pressure, because of the air being forced through the drilled out holes. I had mine fairly low the other day (30? maybe lower?) when I was riding in London and I was impressed how much extra grip it gave me on the back wheel. I used to wheel spin all the time before in the rain.As far as the actually pressure, I'm not entirely sure - I usually just pump it up until it feels right in my fingers. You can always let air out later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris mac Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 so do you guys recomend getting a new wider rim? i run a standard t-master rear wheel but i rarely even bukle it so i dont see the point but if it stops snake bites at low pressures then its a must have can anyone please recomend nice wide rear rims but not on the pricey side? also are the t-master hubs any good?

poopipe Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 fill the tyre with climbing chalk or similar I just learnt that off George French so it probably works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
