  1. I've been using the tube that came with my QuAx for just over 2 months
    and today it eventually punctured just through general wear and tear I
    guess. I'd ordered one of the 20" Trials tubes from unicycle.com as a
    spare but it didn't seem quite as meaty as the original, and when I put
    it in a few hours back I managed to burst it taking a drop from a wall.
    When I landed it just blew up. Granted it was a big drop, but I'd taken
    bigger with the old tube. It was inflated so that I could make a tiny
    imprint if I pushed hard against the tyre with my thumb. Am I running
    it at too low/high pressure? I don't have a gaugey thing so I can't
    tell. And are there any other trials tubes people can recommend? It'd
    be great if anyone knows where I can buy the same kind of tube that
    comes with stock Qu-Axs?

  2. Well, you can always patch the hole on the stock Qu-Ax tube...

    And it does sound like you're running at too high a pressure. I usually
    get it to the point where when I'm on it, I can see it squishing to the
    sides a lot.
