Using two tubes .

It looks like AI is getting much better at generating bikes.

From a distance if you squint, and don't actually look at the details. And ignore the poodle inner tube hybrid.

Zoom in on the face and it looks like Rob Hancill…..the rider, not the poodle.

Last time I watched Rob on YT he had a left eye and teeth.

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 2x20psi=20psi????

Question 2.5

You put sealant in the tube? Why?

No , you can buy them, the thick tubes with green sealant in them , i think they are called "thorn proof tubes" Repco brand..

Comment to Answer to Question 2.6

Slime Tube?! Sounds like „with belt and suspenders“, as we say in Germany, and now you want to replace suspenders by another belt.

Question 2.7

How many puntctures have you had in, lets say, a month?

Subquestion 2.7.1

What was the main cause?

In the UK we say belt and braces. For men of a certain age here… suspenders means something completely different.

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.....

I understood innertubes increase rolling resistance so adding more rubber would increase this?

Rolling Resistance - the crucial factor! - Tubolito

People who ride bicycles a lot are certainly familiar with the phenomenon that different tires, surfaces, air pressure, etc. also require different amounts of

I guess you've got to balance this with the time saved not repairing/changing an inner tube during a race?

There appears to be contradictory requirements and wishful thinking or you have improper tyres (brand / model?) on your rims. KI says best answer for your problem is in post #9 & more detailed post #10 and may only be superseded by answer 42.

@ari You might want to reconsider your expectations in interacting with this imho valuable forum if you are not satisfied with the information available from its given content in multiple articles / postings and individual advice received from its international members.
