    Mr Dunlop invented pneumatic tyres so we had some ride comfort, your clearly just smashing your poor tubes into sharp edge steps like a rock ape and wonder why they can't cope.....

    Tubless with 2 ply tyres may just cope....

    You'll just smash your rim instead then, far better!

    It is a bicycle. I think in your head you think it's one of these

    Yeah, riding up stairs like a ramp, that's never going to work, far too sharp an edge. Maybe try carrying a big ass sheet of plywood with you :?

    sorted, running the back tire on 65psi has solved it, as for your slatery you lot, have faith, theres more to life mocking on a forum

    thanks to those that actually helped

    and yes I do treat my bike liek a monster truck - thats the general idea I had when i built this thing....seen as ive never had any problems except punctures id assume it works.

    well having punctures is surely a rather large problem, so in truth it doesnt work for what you attempt to do at all... :roll:

    I still can't believe he's just riding straight up stairs!

    i know im terrible at explaining things, but i dont just ram my bike at the stairs, also, now that ive stopped punctures with a thicker tube and more psi. your also acting like sharp impacts on tires is odd, what about trial bikers (not that I am one) ive seen many land off high ledges on curbs etc, with no puncture...the impact is not that different.
    All this is beside the point. This is how ive grown up riding, bizarre as it is why do u feel the need to mock.

    and going around this forum mocking people who are asking for advice isnt immature?
    and a waste of time

    being sour is only a cover

    This is the internetz, mocking is what we do :)

    I don't go in for keyboard warriorage, just friendly ribbing, obviously something got lost in translation. I thought about trials, that's why I suggested a trials forum, I have no idea how they avoid flats. Mentalism.
