I fully deflate my tubes, having air in them makes them easier to pinch in my experience.

make sure you sand where your going to patch! helps alot....A i use water sprayed on the rim so the tire goes on easy then drys instantly so your ready to go!

if your pinching them by the valve stem it means your not pusing down the valve stem when you put the bead over in that spot. Any time your near valve stem or rim lock you have to push them in so it moves the tube away from the edge of the rim in that spot. If you have them screwed down then you pinch almost every time.

well to an extent haha. but its usable. im going to look around for some Slime for tubes.

lol i got my tubes all fixed today and got in some trouble with cops for riding my bike in my neighbor hood (just testing the new tires and spring) after he told me not to be there a few days before.....well ive gotta pay 70$ tomorrow to get my bike back

and i may have to go to court if i cant get the ticket taken care of.....i know it was stupid of me to ride in a place that i had been told not to.

That sucks. cant believe they took the 50.

did the cop mention anything about someone calling in a complaint? Just curious if he just happened to see you or some pansy wasnt man enough take a complaint to you in person.

that sucks, we ride at an old sams club parking lot, cops are cool, they even come in and watch sometimes. what sucks is i have an old man that calls the cops as soon as i pull the bikes out of the garage.

MISFITSBOB · 04-25-2008, 05:03 PM

there had been complaints but it was on bigger bikes but i had talked to him a couple times but i hadnt really planned on riding it really....i just put the new spring on it...heres where it gets messed up tho, he took my bike and ticketed me but my other buddy that was with me got off free. he got to keep his bike and no ticket. got the ticket taken care of and the bike is out of impound

unlucky, you just get some ******* cops that have nothing better to do with there time. Because drug's, hoon's, and robberys arent as important as someone riding a little bike.

l2mb · 04-29-2008, 03:46 PM

yea for real, i guess making meth isn't as big of deal as me riding some wheelies on a 50.
