Freakin tubes keep popping

Howdy ags...er, unicyclists,
I ride a 20" Qu-ax splined trials with a 20x2.5" Maxis Creepy Crawler
tire. I cannot seem to find a tube that's big enough for it. My LBS has
a 1.75"-2.125" tube at the biggest, and I've had two of those pop in the
past week from (presumably) being constantly inflated past their limit.
Even UDC does not have a 20" tube bigger than 2.125". Where the heck can
I buy a decent 20" trials tube?
Thanks and gig 'em!

Do you mean 19" rim? with 19x 2.5 tyre?
I have a the quax with the yellow hub and have recently popped a tyre
too.
What you need is a L(m)BS!
My local motorbike accessory shop sold and fitted moto tube, which i
think was 19"x 3 inches?. The spare tube the sold me seemed to be
tougher than my old uni tube and so far i havnt had any problems.
Goodluck

Yeah I have the good ol' yellow-hub qu-ax, 19" rim. Hm, I guess I'll try
that...the 3 inches really wasn't too wide?

Well the guy fitted it on a school day so i wasnt there. After closer
inspection of the spare- a Fortune Motorcycle Tube, it doesnt actually
say what size it is.
on the tube thie is written
275/300-14
FORTUNE
blah blah

So i guess it might be a 2.5?
Anyway, it works well and feels pretty much the same to you should
check what your L(m)BS has.

Mine's a 20 x 2.125 or so, and I haven't had any popping problems (3
years on the same tube). Have you checked the tire for thorns and the
rim for burrs?

Wait, he had to fit it for you? It is not possible to put on a tube
like that the normal way?

You buy actual trial tubes. 19x2.5, you just need to order it from an
online shop.

Are you patching your tubes or buying new ones?

Buying new ones. I ran out of stuff in my patch kit.

I searched online for trials tubes, and I seriously cannot find any
vendors...in fact I'm getting unicyclist.com threads as the first
results, lol.

I'm serious dude, if you wrap your old tubes around your new one, it
will act as a larger tube and it will prevent pinched flats too.
For real, I didn't have a single flat for a year. During that year I
did lots of largish sets and drops, one of which was around 15'. Not a
single flat.
BELIEVE ME!!! IT WORKS!!!!!!
