Cocained the tyres :)
Ok, it's talc, i can't afford coke.
Does anyone else still do this ? talc the tyre inner and tube.
As i remember the logic behind it, talcing the tyre means the tube won't stick to it, this is supposed to increase the suppleness of tyre and is rumoured to help reduce pinch flatting.
Had the sticking with 35-45a DH tyres, and 50a.
