Freakin tubes keep popping
Does it mess up the compression at all? For hops, I mean? -- dudewithasock 'My Unicycling Journal' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44950) officially ended. spazdude222 wrote: Doing good doesn't make you good any more than doing a girl makes you a girl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dudewithasock's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10900 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

dudewithasock;1106129 wrote: Does it mess up the compression at all? For hops, I mean? Nope, I dont think youll even feel it. I never have. Its also really easy. Cutting around the valve is actually the hardest part lol. there is a seem that runs right around the tire. Get a pair of scissors on it, and just pull the tire through. -- Jerrick [SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Do I seal it back up, or just kinda leave it open like a sleeve? -- dudewithasock 'My Unicycling Journal' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44950) officially ended. spazdude222 wrote: Doing good doesn't make you good any more than doing a girl makes you a girl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dudewithasock's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10900 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Leave it open. Pump up your tire a little bit, and put on the rim, then wrap the cut tire onto it, and then slide it all into the tire. And its normal procedure from there. Tore? Sounds like a snakebite, cause some of those can be pretty long cuts. Might want to pump up your tire a few psi more than normal. -- Jerrick [SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I do that anyway. I'll try what you're suggesting, though I found some 2.25" tubes online and bought some, but I dunno when they'll be here. -- dudewithasock 'My Unicycling Journal' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44950) officially ended. spazdude222 wrote: Doing good doesn't make you good any more than doing a girl makes you a girl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dudewithasock's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10900 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Freakin tubes keep popping
A couple of times, I've had a blowout on my Torker LX. I think what happened was that the tire managed to slip off the rim on one side, the tube blew out, and the tire went back on the rim. So I had a low Bang, a flat tire still on the rim with no visible damage, and a tube with a big hole on the part where the tire joins the wheel. Make sure that isn't what is happening to you. That's not a tube blowing out from being undersized, it's a tire/rim issue. -- StephenH ------------------------------------------------------------------------ StephenH's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16659 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

That's not a tube blowing out from being undersized, it's a tire/rim issue. thats the only way i've popped a motorcycle tube, but this is a bigger problem with trials tires because they are supposed to flex, and periodically, if you put a lot of pressure on the tire in a sideways direction, it gives enough to pull the bead off the rim and catch the tube... then the next time that part of the wheel goes to the ground, it rips the tube and makes it explode. -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ 'MY VIDEOS' (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=skroboskim) 'World Record' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oig5IEq-v4Y) "dude when i first got into this sport and saw one of you videos i almost threw up it was so sick" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skrobo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

The thing is with all this, I also use my qu-ax for learning street/flatland stuff, so I don't want a tube that would limit anything there. -- dudewithasock 'My Unicycling Journal' (http://www.unicyclist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44950) officially ended. spazdude222 wrote: Doing good doesn't make you good any more than doing a girl makes you a girl. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dudewithasock's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10900 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I wasnt talking about moto tubes. If your buying a bicycle trial tube, it will be a 19x2.5. They have them even thicker going into the 4 inch range if you order from canada or uk. So I wasnt wrong with what I said in my alst post. =p Your right about mototubes though. Those actually go by the diameter of the rim. -- Jerrick [SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
