Euro Braker Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 (edited) Today I had a pinch flat on the folkestone ride. That is about 5 in this month and its annoying me. I have an Onza T-bird rear wheel with Creepy Crawlers and a cut open inner tube wraped the pumped up innertube and run it about 15 psi but on rides far away from home (folkestone) it is 25psi and today i managed to pinch it so it poped What shall I do, I havnt got alot of money so shall I build a new rim into my old wheel or has anyone got a second hand wheel for sale.HELP PLEASE Edited April 30, 2006 by Euro Braker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I found that my onza sticky finger was the main cause for most of my pinches, and now I have a try-all its been fineI would suggest a new tyre + tube BEFORE the hole (no pun ) rim thing cos its cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTrialSpaz Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 .....Then run 20psi or just get over it and buy a new tube nad take it with you on the ride with extra tools which are required. And if you're really a tightwad and don't spend 'all of your money' on tubes, don't try to get up things you can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 I did say I was running a Creepy CrawlerI know you did , and I was just telling you that when I had a sticky finger I was getting a lot of pinches. I never said "you shouldn't be using a sticky finger tyre" .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
