ZeroMatt Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Have you checked the eyelets on the rim it has caught me out before, had cut through the rim tape too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovel Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) it's a try all rim so has no eyeletsBUT, if you are meaning the large weight saving holes in the rim? then no they felt smooth enough when i built the wheel for him.seriously though darren, i would blame it on the tyre. single ply Maxxis tyres aren't very good for puncture protection really, the double ply 2.5 tyres are alot betteralso get yourself a proper plastic tyre lever, using a screwdriver? silly boy, that can't help much Edited February 7, 2007 by shovel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lankyri Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 hi there here is a suggestion a mate of mine did it, he got a line of rubber round his tire and and tube and he never got a pinch also because the rubber was pretty wide it meant you could run less psi but still have the same feeling of having more psi and he wasnt really a smooth rider but when he kinda quid he took the rubber out and you could see how many time he woulda got a pinch and snakebits but he didnt thats worth a try mateor just run a old tube on the inside of tire and some more rim tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
