H + Sons tube bursting!

i have gone through 4 inner tubes now on my new H+sons rims and still have no tire on the bloody thing.
after the first blow out i took extra special care in making sure there was no pinches. but again, BANG. it looks like they are going on the spoke holes. so im gonna try some rim tape. how ever i never had to do this on my velocity deep Vs.

Has anyone else had these problems?

im fitting Vittoria zaffino tires and using specialized 700c 20/28 long valve inner tubes.

rim tape and then hope!

Hope and pray and hope again

Go and get rim tape.

why would you not use rim tape?

Save weight innit?

Also if you save money on the rim tape you can afford more tubes..

i like the new improved mummy, john.

That it had to happen 4 times before the OP thought "shit, that's why EVERYBODY IN THE WHOLE WORLD uses rim tape" staggers me. These kids are the future.

If I could fit an arrospok in there some place.

Maybe he could have a rim-tape headband as well..

i'd def go the headband, but the arro may be a bit ott.

just my opinion, of course.

electrical tape!

face + palm

not feeling the electrical tape, Hippy?

No, I've used it before on BMXs when I was a kid. I'm not feeling this thread nor the future of earthlings in general.

I've never had a problem. Cant say the same about rim tape that moves around on the rim.

right you shit bags! ive used rim tape and it works a treat. i suppose we arnt born with this knowledge and you have to learn somehow. concerning rim tape moving round the rim. just stick the valve through the valve hole and it holds it in place.

anyhow thanks for all the helpful information and sympathetic comments/images. I love this forum its such a great resource for unhelpful bullshit!

word to all your mothers.

what about dov's tyre levers?

right you shit bags!word to all your mothers.

Which one?

Also I cannot but help point out that you now have rim-tape, a situation that you were not in before, so this thread has been to your advantage.

your right its all down to you. thankyou.

iamsteve,

Perhaps this will help.

Also, rim tape shits me because when it shifts and only partially covers the spoke holes, and then degrades, it becomes misshapen and is hard to readjust.
