anyone know any very durable tubes? mine always pop, and my front popped doing this.

It’s more about the quality of the tyre. Most tubes give or take are all the same, made by the millions.

what were you even trying to do here lol

Probably have a spoke poking through the rim strip or the valve stem is getting out in at an angle and getting cut or a piece of glass or something in your tire that is hard to see… Or you aren’t running enough psi.

Big question, are u running single wall wheel or double wall wheels. I could never afford the double wall wheels when I was younger in the late 90s early 2000s and ALWAYS popped tubes and bent wheels. Swapped to double wall wheels and only popped one tube in 7 years. They were all tapped single and double. The single wall wheels always popped tubes no matter what. I would always pinch the tubes on landings until I went double wall.

I’m also 6’4″ @ 220. Not crazy heavy but enough for White Industries to tell me their beefiest freewheel was ONLY RATED to 180lbs riders. I stripped it out within a month of racing. This also applies to racing carbon fiber. When it isn’t stated the rider weight it is usually 200lbs or under. Not that this applies to u, just throwing it out, like I did all the carbon fiber garbage that came in my race bike.

As almost eveyone has said, its more than likely not an issue with the tube, but how it could have been installed, or a rim strip issue.

Something i do whenever i get a fresh/new to me wheel is inspect the entire thing. Check all spokes are tight, then i check the inside where the tube will seat. 95% of the time i end up needing to de-burr/chammfer the hole where the tube’s valve would go through. And occasionally some of the spoke eyes because there is some sharpness..

After that i throw away the original rim strip and use gorilla tape that’s cut to width of rim. Original plastic rim strips can get hard or rough, gorilla tape always stays strong and flexible.

After that i check the inside of the tire, sometimes there is excess rubber from the molding/manufacturing process of the tire..may not seem like a big deal but i still clean it up. Even dust or a little dirt is removed because this could rub and eventually wear a pin hole into the tube.

My fat ass has yet to have a pinch flat, glass and sharp rocks or expossed metal in the ground is the only thing that gives me a flat. Even after a few hundred hop 180s the tube is still going strong.

Fuck! That was rad. I’d say run more psi if you’re gonna be pulling stunts like that. Good choice with the pads, keep up the good work

There’s definitely better ways to ride this ditch. Throw down a couple pieces of wood and ride the banks

Hahahaha. Not at you, at the mud.
