Thread: 4mm Heavy duty tubes

Hi All,
Anyone tried these heavy duty tubes? Do they make any difference to the handling of a bike?




Thanks

no i've heard about 8mm ones as well, not sure where to get them from though

I use the 6mm one's and have had no problem's with them, and no flats to.

I use a Michalin Xheavy duty in the front and its spot on .

I use the Conti 6mm ones, work great but a bugger to fit sometimes

Myself and quite a few others use Maxxis Extra Heavy Duty 4.5mm Thick. I have only had one punture in 97 hours use, this includes Greenlaning in Wales an tips to Toms Farm !
The Punture was a strange one , the tube split on the side where it passes over the Tyre Clamp. As for Handling etc... Made no driffrence at all , til the front Tyre was flat. Then the steering had a mind of it's own....
