anyone know whats good and whats shite,
just blown mine, went to put 90 odd psi in, 10 mins later its flat as a pancake, tyres can take 110...tom white walls..20x2.0s
want a couple that can take that sort of pressure..
thanks chaps.. :daumenhoch:
-
Certain sites sell extra thick Inner tubes, just cant remember which one, sorry.
-
Halfrauds do the anti puncture ones, or a standard 5 pack for £15. (Been ok so far, only run upto 60 psi though)
-
I run my NS race cruiser tyres at about 90 usually and use any tubes. Main thing is that they're clean, don't get pinched and are well-fitted, and that the tyre itself is capable of supporting that high pressure.
-
i use tesco tubes . run em up to 100 psi on my flatland bike. had the odd one blow after 2 years or so so not bad for around 2 quid each.

Have you checked your rim tape is thick enough? i used to have to run a cut tube over the top on some of my old rims as the spoke nipples kept pinching them.

Good point - once when I took my wheels to my LBS for their regular spoke replacement and truing :-[ :-[ :-[ , they installed some really tough woven rimtape designed for MTBing, seems to have helped for me :daumenhoch:

used loads of new ones for show bikes with only 30 odd psi in and a few of them go flat all the time .. loads of rim tape too :-\
