    So funny (kind of) story. My son Ben is featured here with his RiftZone. This past weekend he had a NICA race in Barling. On Saturday he rode down with a friend to volunteer and do course set up for the race Sunday. When they left they got about 10 minutes down the road and realized a bike was missing. It was his. It came off the bike rack as they were leaving the race area. So his friends mom called the team coach who went searching. Another teams coach had found it and turned it in. Thankfully it was only cosmetic damage, the grips and seat. Everything else was perfectly fine and our coach owns a bike shop so they checked it over good. For those few minutes though when they thought it might have gotten flattened on the highway he was a nervous wreck. All is well and the bike lives to ride another day! 😂

    I know you guys have tried and aren't big fans of tubeless but with the amount of flats that you get I think you should try again After I switched I never get flats any more. I could never go back to the way it was with flat tires once or twice a week. Also I am able to run lower pressures which makes the tire even more grippy.

    • @mtbboy1993
      @mtbboy1993 Рік тому

      If you have proper tape, sealant and run decent pressure, and make sure the valve is secure, then tubeless is not an issue. I use Gorilla tape, I tape one side then the other, I start at 2 spokes before valve hole and end 2 past it.
      I use Tune One Shot sealant as it's the best deal and has does not make a mess, easy to wipe off and does not leave stairs on the floor. No latex in it.
      Orange Endurance also works well but it makes balls and spidewebs or latex if left too long, leaves stains on the floor.

    • @lifebehindtheselens
      @lifebehindtheselens Рік тому

      The thing is with tubeless when you get the flat you're screwed there's no Trailside fix so you end up walking your bike out of the trail with the tube setup yeah maybe you get pinch flats and a flat here and there but as long as you carry a fanny pack with an extra tube a crescent wrench and one of those emergency c02 tire inflators you can almost every time fix it on the trail and ride out

    • @lifebehindtheselens

      Same, I could barely make it a ride or two when I was riding tubes without getting a flat. It was terrible. Once going tubeless I’ve never had issues and traction and overall ride quality is far superior, I’ll never go back.

    Theres a couple tires I reccomend for light offroad mainly street, I've used them all on motorized bikes and they work great
    1. The Schwinn Cruiser Kevlar reinforced Tire (good balance of tread wear, puncture resistance and grip)
    2. Vee rubber (basically drag slick)
    3. Maxxis hookworms (slick tire with a lot more grip)
    Being from fl, I ride dirt roads and the street, we have a few banger jumps out on the dirt roads they get washed out and create little jumps, sadly atm my huffy scout I bottom out on smalls, I'm slowly upgrading it so that I can actually ride it

    I agree about not liking crowded stores! I would think for what/where you ride, 2.1 would be a bit narrow (most XC tire than DH). I run 2.1 gravel tires on my hardtail for pavement/gravel riding. It's the air pressure which allows you to feel all the rocks/bumps.

    This is why I still run tubes I see too many people getting flats or burping their tubeless tires and I still run tubes and have no issues. I also make sure to run enough air so I don't get pinch flats but I've never had an issue with punctures in the tire. It all comes down to personal preference but it's a lot easier to carry a tube than screw around with a tubeless when it comes down to it

    "Tired of flats". Love that. I'd think the flat left you tireless.
    Do you inflate the tires towards the low or high end? I know the trend is to go low, for traction, but I've found that I got less flats inflating to high pressure.

    I know you hate it, but you need to go tubeless and run tire inserts. It's made for trails like that. Especially run an insert in the rear if you don't run both. Or at the very least, run Tannus Tube protection and pump your tubes with slime sealant.

    • @WOLFTICKVIDEOS
      @WOLFTICKVIDEOS  Рік тому +1

      We can do whatever on some bikes but The Tick likes to have choices when we test tires. We have a tire insert that Berserker Nick sent us a while back, but I can't remember if its for tubeless or tubed. We have two and about to be three bikes tubeless as of now, but that eliminates using them for tire tests/reviews. Personally, I think it's a great indicator as to the flat resistances of the tires we test. Some tires do fine and others...well you know😆

    Hey Tick, story time, I think you'll find this hilarious. So last week i decided to wash my GT Aggressor Pro for the first time. After washing it I was getting a really loud creaking noise coming from what i thought was the bottom bracket. I removed the bottom bracket cleaned and regreased it and it was still creaking. So I made sure my chainring bolts were tight and pedals tight (they were) and still it creaked, so i took apart my FaceFace Chester pedals and cleaned and greased those, and it was still making the creaking noise. So next I took both wheels off, took apart the hubs, lost 3 ball baerings but thankfully Wheel and Sprocket gave me some free ones, then i cleaned and regreased my hubs and it was still making the creaking noise. I was getting pissed off and worried becuase my bike was always completely silent when riding it, so I posted to reddit r/bikewrench. The first reply to my post was a guy saying it's 100% my seat post creaking. I replied to him that that couldn't be it becuase I had never greased my seat post and it never creaked, but I would play along, so I greased my seated post AND the creaking stopped, lol. I was pissed but also found it hilarious. I had basically given my bike a full overhaul and it turned out to be the simplest fix.

    As many flats as you have you would absolutely benefit from a proper tubeless setup. I run Rocky, nasty stuff on my full rigid bike setup tubeless and never get flats…ever. The rim width makes a difference for tubeless to work correctly but the same goes for tubes. If you are running too fat of a tire with a narrow rim you will always flat. I’m guessing pinch flats is what keeps happening if you take a slightly bad line and hit a rock with the rear tire. When I used to run tubes, if I over tightened the presta nut on the stem, it would pull the stem out of the tube or split right by it. I started leaving the little nut off and that helped big time.

    Back in the 90's, MTB tires were generally sub-2 inch. I went through years of hypnotherapy to forget ever riding endless solo miles across the Mojave Desert on those narrow tires. This video had me drenched in sweat, screaming at 2:35am, having woken from a nightmare where these narrow tires failed me. I was snatched up by a UFO and anally probed for hours in what may be more than a bad dream. I'm thinking that this was from a repressed memory brought back by just the mere mention of 2.1-inch tires.

  • @acedotcom
    @acedotcom Рік тому +1

    okay though....that might explain your flats. running 35psi is super high. Even with tubes you could run at about 25psi and get more grip and fewer flats. 35psi is better for roads but at your size you are putting so little rubber on the trail you may even be losing speed because you cant corner as fast. You may also get fewer flats...a balloon is harder to pop while its still pliable. When I'd ride in wyoming at lower pressures i could ride over cacti at lower psi's but as soon as i got over 30 psi the tires turned into needle magnets.
