I got a flat yesterday while riding a tech trail. I was running Kenda Freeride tubes. With my saint stuff, it's a pain in the ass to take the rear wheel off. I don't want to run full on DH tubes, because I ride trails and DH on this bike. I still need to be able to grind up long climbs. Can any recommend a good FR tube, something under 400grams, but still burly enough to avoid pinch flats. Oh I have mavic 729 rims and run kenda sticky 2.6 tires.

i stopped running tubes. That solved my flatting problem.

I run Nokian Gazzolodi tubes. Not as heavy as full on DH tubes but, because of the higher percentage of rubber vs. carbon seem to flat a lot less.

I agree with the others, get rid of those tubes, ghetto tubeless is the $hit.

Umm, i read the website, but cant derive any info on what exactly they are. I realize they are people against tubless, but...

 

[bikeandski]

Oh man, lmao!

The page is a joke, dude. They are just making fun of Stan's and the problems that go with them. Personally I think that running stan's is well worth it.

I actually laughed out loud when I read that.

Hint:

"Q: How much weight do you save using Oliver's Yes Tubes?

A: That varies by application, but in our experience the wait savings would have been many minutes, if not hours, if our riding buddies had been using Oliver's Yes Tube system."

The site is BS, made by mtbr's own Pete.
