I originally was going to buy a heavy duty tube but the saleman at the bike shop talked me out of it!I see green stuff! What do your shorts look like?
Just kidding. Slime out of the tires blowouts are not fun on any kind of bike.
! That does not look like it was a fun ride, thank God your alright. How fast were you going when it let loose and were they high presure tires? Theres a group of racers in Estonia that have sanctioned races that used to be members on MK. They would post their race footage, its really cool seeing 10-15 motorized bikes racing around a curvy track. I'll see if I can dig up a ling to some of their stuff...Kelly
I think I was only going mid twenties when my tire popped. Tire pressure was @ 45 psi (recommended is 45-50psi) I went to the ER today and its only a bone bruise. That would be sweet if you could dig up that footage!YIKES
Interesting and good find Nick. I wonder if the tire would come off the rim while corning at high speeds.
It was limited to the tire only plus LOTS of clean up from the slime. (Never use that stuff!) I was lucky b/c I was only wearing a karting suit with no pads. The suit allowed me to slide on the asphalt & it also prevented me from getting any road rash.
