Flat Tires on FIDDY`S

I get valve stem flats all the time. Does anyone else have this problem? It is especially bad when I lower the tire pressure for whelie practice.

Maybe try useing a rim lock? Should keep the rim from spinning inside the tire.

Every few rides release the air in the tube and refill it.. It will straighten out and you wont rip many more.. If you search ebay you will find someone selling rim locks for XR50s, you might want to check it out..

try a round file and take the edge off the hole in the rim then cover the hole with duct tape and push the valve stem thru

oh and dont forget 50's rule

I used to shred through tubes, as soon as you have any motor mods or ride on anything other then the street you will have the same problem without trick rimlocks. The dude on ebay has the ****!!
