dirtrider Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Seems tubes works for some but not for others . So if you feel lucky do the tube thing ' date=' just stay away from Babaas lodge !![/quote'] Ride on the designated track and you wont have a problem. The parking lot ?
Christopher Brunsdon Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Three words Oliver Yes Tubes What makes them different to other tubes? There web site does not explain it' date=' just knocks tubeless. But anyway, I just put some slime (RAD slime) in my tubes this weekend. Cheapest option.[/quote'] I also ride with tyre liners, might be overkill for weight weenies but only time i stop is to help clueless tubeless guys fix theirs Also going that route. I can live with the weight. My neighbour only uses tyre liners on all his bikes and never an issue except for glass slashing his tyres. The road I plan to do some weekend riding on, R44 SomersetWest - Stellenbosch, can be nasty for punctures. Thats why I'm going the tyre liner route.
bored girl Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Jules has punctures at Babbas very often.....tubeless I ride tubeless and I cannot say I am that impressed. On Sun we went for a ride round the block. When we were in the driveway Jules just touched my back tyre with his front wheel and slime exploded everywhere.....now explain wth was that from???

Matchstix Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Maybe its the thorns that were still in the tire and the two tires touching loosened them?
