    Does anyone know where i can find some 20" tubes? The rear tube on my 6 year old's bike split down the seam and the muppet I am I never bought replacements when i got her the bike for Christmas I am located in Walkerville
  2. Hi I am helping a community centre with a project and am looking for old MTB tubes that they make into belts. Any and all will be appreciated.
  3. I have noticed that SA bike shops seem to only stock regular tubes. It seems like there are a lot more options available from international online vendors. Within the Continental range there are a few different specs. Some reviews have stated that the Continental Race 28 Supersonic is the cheapest and easiest way to reduce the total weight of a bike by 100g and, considering this weight is on the extremity of the wheels, it should make for a significant improvement in acceleration too. What are the pros and cons of lightweight tubes?
  4. Hi everyone I read some articles online, but I am still confused about what to do about thorns. Let me explain the scenario. Last weekend my wife and I took a ride on our local trails. She runs tubeless and I run tubes with slime. One section was very thorny (duiweldorings) and both of us picked up a number of thorns, which we left in place. Her tyres seemed to be fine during the ride, while mine lost a little bit of air. On Monday I went to check on the bikes and her tubeless was fine, and to my surprise, so was my slime tubes. So here are my questions: 1. Does one always leave in thorns (both tubeless and tubes with slime)? 2. Am I correct that should my tubes with slime be flat tonight, I must remove all thorns, and then patch up the holes? 3. What will happen if I give my tubes with slime some air, will the thorns cause more damage, leading to a flat, due to the increased pressure? 4. What do I do if her tubeless is flat tonight? Thank you!
  5. I'm sorry to rant, I'm usually not this full of crap...but...seeing that this is the second time I thought I'd shoot this out there to see what others' experience have been like. I rode the Argus with my MTB on slicks with Dr Sludge tubes. Last week when I was ready to put my knobblies back on I could deflate one of my tubes as the sludge had clogged the valve. After spending about 20 mins of cursing and fighting I managed to get the air out. Long story short - now I can't inflate the tube as there isn't enough space for the air to go through. This is the second time I have had this problem and thought I'd share my experience. I stored my bike in such a way that the valves were at the top so that the sludge sits at the bottom. Today I couldn't wait anymore and stopped by a shop to pick up tubes, call me a sucker as I walked out with Dr Sludge again...only this time when I opened the packet the sludge had leaked out leaving a rock solid crusted valve that can't move... I'm so disappointed as one tube costs R165!!! I think I'm just going to go back to tubeless...Stans!
