    Using two tubes .

    Since you are a Tasmanian i will answer you , I honestly did not think it needed photographic proof , most people[including Tasmanians] have seen a valve sticking thru a rim[think double vision after hitting that low branch], and its literally a 5 min job, take tyre off,drill, put tyre, tubes in...

    Using two tubes .

    Pinch flats on rocks, could be one a week to one every few months , other advantages are less rolling resistance , less ballooning of the tube/tubes , more balanced wheel , in the event of puncture one tube hold air, low cost etc etc. No more sub questions.....

    Using two tubes .

    I used 2x 1.95x29 in a 2.60 tyre. Could/should use larger tubes to minimize the ballooning effect .

    Using two tubes .

    Drill the hole opposite to the original hole , stick in the 2 tubes beside each other[ just the cheap$5 tubes from kmart etc , 1.95], with plenty of baby powder . Pressures im still experimenting with , but can do any combination . Pretty sure i will get a puncture sometime, let you know.

    Using two tubes .

    Well, during my ban , i did it ,and it works great . In a sharp rocky section of the track [where iv had several pinch flats] it was fine , wheel is more balanced , rolling resistance is better,, and , the dimwit that suggested that the tubes will catch fire from the friction , no it didn't . I...

    Ok then , but it wasn't too much to ask the moderators to ban 6 people , to make the forum more pleasant , I can pretty much guarantee every time you ban the few fools,stirrers, smart arses , you get many more posters/participants[even the ones who have left], the mods did not even delete my...

    Using two tubes .

    It was a proper question , but all i got was rude smart arse comments , which i reported , it seems the moderator is pretty slack with his code of conduct rules and taking the piss also . Why would any manufacturer have anything to do with this bullying clown show.

    Using two tubes .

    Before i drill a second valve hole , has anyone used 2 tubes in the rear tyre/tire? im thinking 2 light weight tubes which will be lighter than a heavy duty tube filled with sealant , i am a cheap arse so it will be a cheap thing to do . Not really sure about the pressures eg 2x10psi=20psi or...

    No batteries available for my 4 day old Canyon Spectral:On CF8 - considering returning it

    Contact your countries consumer protection office , see what the after sales support laws are on ebikes. Cars,bikes , washing machines etc manufacturers need to supply parts for their product for 10 years, to sell them legally

    What is this?

    They are called 'Nanlio', 32mm air forks from alixpress , they are 1.7kg lighter than the original Suntour forks [Reid etrail 2 bike], going from bad to less bad is a huge improvment:D

    What is this?

    Just fitted some new forks[from China] , they did come with this ring[ and a starnut], i used the existing bearing races , but is this ring a bearing race ? or some sort of adapter/spacer??. Sorry for the noob question , but love to know what its actual correct job is?[not a dust seal as its...

    Yamaha is THE Leader by the millions!

    What is a bit strange is why the other Japanese moto companies are not making MTBs/EMTBs , Honda had a go 10 years ago but gave up, even when the Yamaha dual suspension BMX came out , Kawasaki and Suzuki came out with their own[I had the Suzuki:ROFLMAO:].

    Rise 25 creaky headset

    Also, replace the star nut regularly , its a 3 piece item that may appear to be working perfectly, but , the 2 claws can work loose and the shaft bit can also become loose and or flex but still function ,[ i recently bought the tool and some starnuts[few $] and replaced one[for no reason] and...
