Tube pinch?

ttboof · Super Guru

Not a pinch from a hit but it's worn a bit as if it's had a crease from when it was fitted and finally worn through .I like to add a little but of baby powder when fitting and the most important step is inflating then deflating to settle the tube in a step some bike shops miss .I always fit my own so I know it's right

put a TuBliss in it.... ===> www.motomox.co.nz/shop/show_single_product.php

lets the tube move/settle in...

Thanks , i need to know the cause of any problems so i can learn from them. A shop did fit the new road trail tyre a while back. Since its now used i will give it ago with a new tube.And lots of powder. Yes Petenz i would love a tubliss and may think seriously about one.

The IRC 4mm thick tubes are good..
( IRC ... IX Heavy )

A worn tyre with a Tubliss will

give vastly more tracton than

a new tyre with a tube...

The Tubliss is really the next leap in dirt bike

tyre technology.....

they can be used on the road with road PSI in them....

even though Tubliss say not to....

Tubliss make these in the land of the law suit...

could just see some brain dead yank coming off the dirt

on to the seal with 3psi in the tyres.. then trying to

get his knee down on the first corner... then blaming

everyone ealse because he came off...

So yer can't blame Tubliss for covering there A$$...
