  1. Today I made a little trials line and I hopped of a 4 set and tryed to
    land on a cinder block and my tyre just popped! Not just the inner
    tube the tyre too like a four inch gash in it. So what would you guy's
    recomend for a tyre I was ridding the creepy crawler.

  2. Shoot, that sucks. And it's scary, I've recently popped my tire twice.
    The second time I pumped it up too much (NEVER trust a tire gauge) and
    it exploded, and I mean huge explosion. I've never seen a tire pop so
    loudly. I couldn't believe my tire made it through alive.

    You could get a new Maxxis, or a Luna. Maxxis is better for trials, the
    Luna is better for street, and rolls better and lasts longer.

  4. I think I'll ty a luna. But ya scared teh [censored] outta me and I only had
    about 30 psi tops in there. It kinda folded I guess. How wide is that
    luna? I am riding an LX totally rigged up.

  5. the luna is 2.5 in and if your riding an lx unless you changed the rim
    to 19 in it wont fit
    i got a luna on my uni and it seems to work fairly good

  6. Were you running the CC rear tire or the front? The front is like 20x
    2.0 and the rear is 20x2.5... Since you were riding an LX im guessing
    that you had the front tire. Id say just get another CC if you were
    runnign the small one or if you have the 19" rim and had the 20x2.5 CC
    then maybe try a luna or one of the new monty tires.

    He was using a CC so the Luna would fit.

    Acctually Maxxis makes 2 types of CC tire...One is for the front wheel
    of trials bikes and the other is for the rear.
