Tubes My wonder pop protection (Havent poped a tube since)

[Rileymoto]

I use to ride and pop a tube each week till i came out with this beautiful idea!!!

I thought... Well i popped this one... Why waste it??

If you got any spare tubes around your house you will love this!!!

take your old popped tube...

Cut it round the inside edge and cut off the valve..

Take you brand new tube

put it inside the old tube

Now you got a double backed up tube!!!!

Now i do that i never have to pay for expensive tubes and i still haven't popped one of mine yet!!! :helmet:

Thanks for sharing the great tip. Flat tires can be so frustrating. I once had 3 flat tires on my front tire and one flat tire on my rear tire on a 90 mile round trip. I ran out of spare tubes and patches and ditched my bike in a ditch on the side of the rode and hitchhikes it back home.

that's a really good idea. I love it when people come up with cleaver ideas like that.

I just use the green slime... haven't had a flat since I started using when I rode BMX bikes back in the 90's.

but the double tube would be less messy. I may give it a shot

Well another good tip is if you really need to ride home and you got a bit of a ride...

Stuff as much pineneedles and leaves as you can in the tire

It can get your bike home in one piece without having to ruin your rims!

wow... that actually works?? Sounds like you have done that before

 

[Rileymoto]

Yeah i mean when you are mountain biking far in the forest and you shred a tire on lots of glass and you don't want to ruin your rims

It works till you get home then you can take your old popped tube and do what i said to do in the original post!!!

Its actually not a bad ride, riding on pine needles

Great idea. Changing a rear tire on a motorized bike takes considerably longer than on my pedal bikes.
