Hi,



This is my CRF50...



http://planetminis.com/1208680-post1.html



Been having a problem - I've had to have the tube in my rear tire replaced three times in the past 6 months due to the valve becoming separated (sheared off from) the tube.



Not sure what the issue is, but I'm sure I have a problem.



Does anybody know what might be causing this? Too much weight on the bike? Problem with the wheels?



Is there something I can do to make this thing tubeless, or?



Appreciate any help you all can provide.

buy a rim lock and install it also when u put the new tube in dont put the nut on the valve stem all the way too the rim leave it above the rim like a quarter inch after u have air in it good luck had the same problems when i was tightening the nut all the way down to the rim on the valve stem so leave it above the rim a quarter inch tell us how it does but the best thing would be get a rim lock and drill ur rim and install and u will never have to worry again

once you put on a rim lock you will never have that problem again. Only $6-8 at your local motorcycle shop.
