Inner Tubes!!

#1 PostAuthor: drydockdavies » Sun Jun 04, 2023 4:40 pm

What are we using? I'm looking for the heaviest of duty I can find!
Anyone using puncture preventative sealants?
I'm presently stuck on the side of the road waiting for the AA, only been 4 and a half hours so far. They couldn't find anyone who could pick the bike up so a specialist courier on its way...only another 2 hours to wait.
Could do with not doing this again if I can help it!

Hi drydockdavies

I use sometimes the heavy duty off road inner tubes, much thicker and heavier rubber!
If I were you, I wouldn't use puncture preventative sealants . I've been reading somewhere that, when they get older, they have a tendency to form "balls" and those cause wobbles in the front wheel when you ride.
Perhaps some people on here have experience with those preventative sealants and can tell you all about it.
