I thought I learned a lesson with MOOP ONE because this happened with that bike too. I thought it was a fluke.
It seems these solid tubes do well on the wheel that the engine does not drive. But have one on a driving wheel and you'll run into problems.
I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Notice how my spoke protector just wrapped up inside.
Amazingly I was 5 miles away and I rode home safety. But it was hard on my wheel. I lucked out and my wheel still straight when I replaced all that with a different tire and a slime tube and it runs with far less rolling resistance now.
No more solid tubes for me. Next time I get a flat I'll patch it up or replace the tube.
