My 320 dollar haro bike keeps poppin the back tire, is it because it is a smaller stunt bike and i weigh 115 pounds, or is it something else? plz help. no stupid answers plz.
It would have nothing to do with your weight, I see people pushing 200+ on a bmx. I personally would take the tire off of the rim and check the tip of the spokes to make sure that none of them are pushed up and/or make sure that the rubber piece is going around the inside rim to cover them. If the rubber piece is not covering the spokes in the inner rim or is missing, just wrap a few layers of simple adhesive tape over the spokes to ensure that its not them pushing up and puncturing your tube. For the air pressure you shouldn't be going any higher than the minimum psi because those things are full of cr-p with their so called maximum psi intake. I've blown and split too many to count trying to get it close to the maximum air pressure. Either those or your tire may just be (garbage or faulty)...who knows, check it out! |
