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! -- 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
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 -- samsta002 It's OK; luckily my neck broke my fall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ samsta002's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16653 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

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? -- 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 |

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. -- samsta002 It's OK; luckily my neck broke my fall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ samsta002's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/16653 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73240 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

It is not possible to put on a tube like that the normal way? -- 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 |

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? -- 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 |

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. -- 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'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!!!!!! -- Goats_On_Unicycles -Incubate now.
