Re: New tube (need help)

Just a regular 20x2.125 in my experience. Either way it usually says on
the side of the old tube what size it is. How did you bust it?

Try to find the Pyramid tubes. Unicycle.com sells them. They are
listed as 20x2.125, but the actually go up to 20x2.35. These are the
widest 20" tubes i have seen.

I busted it doing like a three foot drop I think. I either landed on
something sharp or had the pressure too low and pinched it. Probably the
latter. I've done much bigger drops and not had any problems.

Amen....(not christian)

anyway, Unibrier (Steve) found that the pyramid tubes hold up great. I
think I have the "thorn resistant 20x2.125" on my monty. Even though i
dont use that wheelset anymore it still hasn't popped. (I'm currently
using a luna)

Be prepared for a fight getting the tyre off! I was told to spray some
silicon lube around the bead to get it off- can't remember who said, may
have been John Glazer?

It was a fight. I even broke one of those tire lever things. I may have
even put more wholes in it with my eventual tool, a screw-driver.

Alright here are my options. I'd go to uni.com but I need a quick fix.

From my LBS, 2.125", probably generic, $4.99

From Canadian Tire, 2.35", Kenda, $14.99

I have plenty of money, but am still not sure. I'm leaning towards the
Kenda because, I know the brand and I know its good, its wider, and I
don't like Don (owner of LBS). What are your thoughts?

well go for the kenda then, surely the inner tube closest to the size of
your tire is the best choice (note: this is just what i percieve i dont
really know much about this issue)

So I get to Canadian Tire and it turns out the idiot I was talking to
was talking about a tire. It looks like I'll be uni-less longer then I
thought. 🙄

It amazes me that they stay in business. That incident is SO typical of
CT. (Although my wife and I fight over the flyer when it comes on
Friday😄 )

Just get the standard tube, they've held up great for me. If it's only
$4.99 which is peanuts, go for it. If it doesn't do the job, then at
least you have a ride of sorts in the meantime and can look for a larger
tube.

Any 20" inner tube will do - they just inflate to the size of the tyre
that they're in. I've never had a problem with pinch flats on my trials
uni.
