Spinnekop Posted November 18, 2008 Share So. I have added up. Tubbies:1622km done in 20086 punctures270km per tyreCost or replacing/fixing R3 500Clinchers:10 016km done in 20083 punctures3 338km per tubeCost or replacing R150.00So......is is all down to BAD LUCK that I puncture so much on tubbies? I have a theorie.........take a blunt nail. Press it against a balloon that has been blown up to the max......easy pop. Same nail. Balloon blown up half way......you have to press harder because the balloon gives way because of the low pressure. Yes? No? Wa die slim inginieurs? Wit jassies?

Maak BAIE lekker slippers van daai vel! Ai, ons mag nie katte skiet hier nie (behalwe na threshold tests), maar almal eet hasies vir Kersfees! Miskien kan ek hasies probeer skiet met die kettie? Ma ek weet nie of jy kan slippers maak met hulle nie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted November 18, 2008 Share OK Spidy now you have control results ..... if you now pass on those wheels with the tubbies to myself I can check if I have the same results. This will confirm whether the problem lies with the rider or the equipment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder Woman Posted November 18, 2008 Share Thing is the tubbies only ever get used for racing and you aren't as careful where you put your bike when you race....We sometimes take a few extra risk and tighter corners etc!! so there may be more than just the fact of air pressure that creates more punctures!!! You punctured Sunday Spidey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You punctured Sunday Spidey But i guess you may gain in the rolling resistance aspect and cornering, but possibly lose when it comes to puncture resistance... and you would not be paying as much attention as to where you put your wheels when you racing.. you just belt it as fast as possible...

Fact.(Depending on make, moddel, pressures etc...etc...etc...blah..blah....) Cornering?I have a team mate that had a tubbie climb off in the corner at the Tour of Maurice.

Marius Posted November 18, 2008 Share Spidey, I did the same thing, workout out how many races I finished with the tubbies and how much it cost to repair over a season, the results spoke for themselves and I sold them asap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammajoor Posted November 18, 2008 Share Kyk eerder net wa jy ry en los die ballone vir jou kiners As hy hulle gebruik instede van om hulle op te blaas was daar nie nou kinners nie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
