I was running 5.5 all the way around, which is up about a pound from what I usually run. Last time I went, I only had one flat that was caused by landing on a large rock while jumping which bent the rim.

Most of ours were pinch flats, so higher pressure would've helped those specific instances, except in the case of your tire Ryan. If we'd had the air up even higher, we may have been getting more flats in the tread(like you) because the tire would've been so hard. So, it's a catch 22. Which are you going to hit less of- rocks on the bottom, or rocks on the side wall? You know your going to hit them on the bottom, so I thought I had a fairly happy medium. I don't think the hole I got in the rear was a pinch flat- I think it was more like a piece of #4 rebar or something like that. The slit and hole in the bead and another hole 4" away from the lip tells me something shot up through the tire.

That's in addition to the fact that we were flat out haulin' around those hills!! Oh my, that was fun!!!!

Sorry about that, I usually don't crack on people I don't know. Just sticking up for my newfound freind Motoman.

You wouldn't have had any trouble keeping up with me, I was riding in back of the pack behind my son who has a sprained wrist.

Now on Saturday when he sat in the truck it may have been another story:D

Don't worry about K2 Jaybr he deserves it, but thanks for the support!!! He gets all mad when I roast him on my C-Dale on that same loop!!! As for the flats fellows, next time we can go faster and try to keep three out of the four wheels off the ground so you have less of a chance getting a flat!!!

I don't know why i thought i'd be able to ride the KFX with the 5 plug gash in the tread. Hittin a nice berm kinda jump to about 30' yesterday I looked down and had slime mess all over the place and a nice flat too Blew all 5 outta that pretty new 22" XCT!
Jay, if you are still willing to part with that pair of holeshots, I would sure like to have em. Get 'bunny' to take em off the wheels for ya, he owes me about $300 for that aluminum valve cover i gave him anyway! I'd also like to get that extra 'essential's tube too, if you want to part with it.
Here's the pic I blew em out on:

I'm slow, but I get there. I just caught on to the "bunny" thing. 1st time I saw it in the other post, I didn't make the connection. That $hit ain't funny!

Their yours, you sure you don't want the 23" fronts too?

If you need them in a hurry, your gonna have to talk your bro into going over to the house and pulling them off the rims. I'm in Baltimore working all week for the next month and only home on weekends.

just keeps going and going and going

Hey Ryan,

Love those riding pants! Are they the new Dockers with stain guard?

raggin on my pants! in THIS thread? lmao!
I got run outta bluetraxx a long while back after I posted a jumppic wearing nuthugger jeans. LOL I'm just not into mx garb, so YES they are in fact Dockers! The stainguard works pretty good too.

KMA JBr

Now hustle back home and send me them 22's.

I tried to share the pic with the cannondale world, but you got lucky! It took me about 5 mins to find the thread and the pic is gone and replaced by the dreaded red X.

Oh well!
