hey guys im new to the fiddy world kinda liken it. bought a xr and its got big street tires on it (100/90/10's) and i keep spining the tube on the rear rim and riping the valve stem off. im on like my third tube now in like 2 weeks and im now a pro at changing tires/tubes (a pain in the ***) anyone else ever had this problem if so how did you solve it.

thanks

are you running low pressure? i spun one in the stock knobby in the first 3 weeks from runnin the tires too low for street stunting practice

other than that i haven't had any problems at 22psi or more and cheng shin street tires

 

ya i jsut talked to one of my buddies that mini mortards his and i didnt realize you could put that much air in them the tube says 10# so i thought thats what i had to run in it but he said 20-30#s it what he runs so i am gonna give that a try......gonna get me some tire spoons to screw drivers just aren't safe..........thanks

3" highways,2.5-2.75 heavy duty tubes , duct tape rim strip, around 30 psi

my setup since i got tired of changin tubes

 

make sure you got the nut on the outside of the rim, put it on the stem, put air in the tube a few times while bouncing the rim and tire on the ground to seat the tube, and then on the final inflate after you are done, tighten the nut down snuggly, and your done. the nut will help keep the tube from shifting.

goodluck...later

 

ya my nuts where tight:D i was going by the kenda gide lines on the box saying only to fill it to 10#'s when i should have been more like 25#'s of air thanks for the input........

there is something you can get at foxys neal that locks the tube in place i forget what its called...

 

Its all about the right tire. Perelli 3.0 x 10. I rode my tire for a year at 15 psi with no flats, just retired it for a new one.

how much is that tire? it says call but i'm too lazy

 

Do pretty much what gixxerguy said: put the nut on the valve stem on the outside of the rim. That's what it's there for.

I've noticed that with low pressure the tube will spin even with the nut on. Sometimes it loosens up and I have to tighten it up again.

 

ya i was doing that the problem was i wasnt runing enough air and i was riping the valve steam right off the tube i was going by whta kenda said 10psi, but now i am runing 20-25 so its all good.................

 

tightening the nut makes it worse. also you cant tell when you need to stop take out the air and pull the stem straight before you rip it. ive seen my tube fully folded up in the tire, stem was straight. its NOT a rimlock, although that would be really cool!!!
