i have fitted/removed some tight tires before, but these are literally a 2 man job.
can anyone tell me why??
tires - Kenda small block eight
rims - no tubes ZTR crest rim
i'm not running them as tubeless. i can think of 2 things. either the tires are just mega tight and i should get some different ones, or the rim is designed to fit a noTubes tire and for some reason they don't fit well with the kenda.
its a massive pain to fix punctures, so i need to figure this out. it will either be new tires or new wheels.
(i've posted this question previously, and have a few responces, with 2 solutions...use talcum powder as a dry lube, and i should start putting the bead in from the opposite side of the valve, and end up at the valve. ??)
cheers
can anyone tell me why??
The tolerance of the tyre size and rim size is conspiring in opposite directions. +2mm in one direction and -2mm in the other.
I've had this I binned the tyres. Try them on some other rims, if they don't work then they are too tight, if they do use them there or give away. If they are a PITA they are not going to get better, or consign yourself to running 50psi and carrying talc.
Sorry if thats a but blunt but it's the most obvious reason and solution. Unless you think they might stretch a lot.
whats PITA?
why are you fixing punctures on a no tubes rim? Sealant should work or those sticky strings that are poked through from the outside
PITA Pain In The A...
why are you fixing punctures on a no tubes rim?
I assume because
i'm not running them as tubeless.
yeah, im not running tubeless.
the guy i bought the bike off bought the notubes rims, but didnt get round to finishing the job, so i got inner tubes
