The primary reason for pinch flats is not running enough air pressure. Add more air. FYI I usually run around 45-50 psi in my rear wheel on a 26 x 2.1 and I'm about 225 pounds.blend911 said:I have a bran new Garry fisher Big sur 2004, and I keep getting pinch flats, the rim is 26 x2.1K , can I put bigger tires of tubes ??

For me the min psi i can go with without flatting is 40psi. This is using a 2.1 that measures around 2.25 in the back. With the 2.35" front tire i start with 40psi and adjust as i go, but dont go less than say 35psi or so.Fattirewilly said:The primary reason for pinch flats is not running enough air pressure.
