Hey dude,
I wouldn't worry about it, I assume you have a drilled Try-All rim
yeah?
If so, having soft plastic rimtape on the rim is paramount because the
inner tube will get shredded because it wants to pop out of the holes
on the rim. So a rimtape will act as a 'wall' stopping it from doing
so.
Also, it depends on your tyre. Check the maximum inflation rating, and
make sure not to go above that number.
Another tip: When putting a new tube in, make sure you do a quality
job, because from personal experience and from other peoples'
experiences throughout a range of sports: BMX, Trials bikes,
unicycling.. sports which I all do... is to to spread powdered chalk on
the inside of the tyre surface and make sure to sand away any sharp
little bits on the inside of the tyre. Then, buy a good inner tube and
cover that in powdered chalk too, and then fit it in the tyre and the
rim nicely. Pump up to the right pressure, and should be good.
Incase you're wondering.. the powdered chalk is there so that if ever
the tyre folds (from jumping or anything) the tube doesn't grip to the
tyre during the folding. When people don't use chalk, eventually the
tube gets ripped easily during jumping because the tube is gripping
against the folding tyre which causes it to flex and rip. Having chalk
stops the tube gripping to the tyre which minimizes the chances of
getting pinch flats.
Hope this sorts your problem, if it doesn't I'll see what else I know
that could help. 🙄
EDIT: Also, make sure your rimtape between the inner tube and rim is
wide enough to cover the width of the rim.
