Tube explosions..thoughts

I pity the commuters rolling along with 2" knobby mtb tyres inflated to a whopping 35psi..

Wait? Pity them? No I don't! What's a word for "laughing at them on the inside"? :)

kowalski [quote]tynan [quote]Where did you get your Veloplugs™ from ?

Ben's Cycle in Milwaukie, they have a store on the bay and a website.

I hear you can find them at 53x12, a UK based store.[/quote]

Can't find it !? Got an address ?

tynan [quote]kowalski I've had nowt but trouble with Contis.

Because they're a bitch to fit, there's a good chance of damaging the tube when you do.

As RPM says, decent rim tape is a must. I've had a puncture cos the cheapo rubber band type failed. Conti tape is top, but I use Veloplugs which are toppermost.

I've got some I'm not using, was told by 53x12 they'd be fine on CXP33s, but no... maybe they only fit on Velocity rims... You puttin' them on Deep Vs?
If I were you I'd stick to non-glue rim tape... £2 Vs £14.99... No-brainer really...

Dunno if they'll fit your 1.1s tho'...

tynan [quote]BringMeMyFix Where did your username come from then? Just wondered, cos it's my son's name :)

It is my middle name, I am about to deliver Evans a new customer around March (well not me of course but my girlfriend) - and we are thinking about 'Tynan' as a name !!!!

I thought I was the only one ![/quote]

My wife searched the National Statistics database after we'd chosen the name, and it had only been used as a first name about 40 times in the last 25 years. What with the media attention and hit-count that this site attracts, it's now bound to become the latest nomenclaturial phenomenon :S

Good luck with the last 1.5 trimesters!
