  1. thanks guys for the replies, when I changed tubes I always run my hand on the inner to feel for thorns. didnt feel anything. Then when I install the tube and tyre I first pump it up a little to make sure the wall of the tyre doesnt pinch the inner tube. I havent put lines in, but I was told there was slime in it.. Clearly not done! I think I am going to spend the money and have tubless put in, the rims I have are Mavix Xm317 disc. will you be able to convert these? Thanks
  2. cruised to MTN park, end up falling and buckled front wheel! Had an awesome daqy.. My pride and joy had had her first fall
  3. Hi guys and girls, I need help.... I bought an Anthem two weeks and loving it. Yesterday I road at the MTN park and my front tyre folded going around a bend which resulted me in falling. Now I pumped these tyres up till 2 bar and there was no puncture. Why would it fold? So today I cycled at redstone cycle challenege, and pretty much the same thing happened to me coming around a bend my back tyre did the same thing and I nearly fell. I checked both front and back pumped to 2 bar ones again it happened now front and back. So I pumped the tyre up carried on with the ride and about 4km later felt the tyre and it had lost air! so I pumped the tyre again and this happened three times, on the third time. while cycling the tyre burst. Stopped replaced the tube pumped it up... Carried on riding and about 3 km to go, my front tyre had a flat. Fixed that puncture. Pumped it up and managed to cycle my way in. Oh the replaced back tube was also losing air. 30 km in 2 hours I did check the valves Now is there something Im doing wrong?????? Or should I consider tubeless.??? Please any suggestions? Thanks
