Default Freakin tubes keep popping


weight weenie!!!
motorcycle tubes are lighter (than a correctly sized tube) if
anything...
they are thin, but made out of a much better material.

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.





You wont limit anything. With the thicker tube your flips will be
affected a bit, but that wont hurt until you really get into some more
advanced tricks.

Well, normal tubes are around .9mm thick, while trials tubes are
around 2-4mm thick. For a flipper or weight wennie that can be a big
weight problem or feel difference when doing treys or other tricks. Like
the difference between the drilled or drilled rim.

i'm talking about regular motorcycle tubes (1.5mm at the most). trials
tubes suck, i can't stand them.

I used to just feel around with my hand, but after a came close to
getting stabbed by a pin, I started using a rag. Tiny glass or metal
pieces can be impossible to see, but will snag the cloth.
