does this stuff really work or is it jus crap?

and i use my bike for street.oh yea and its a 20" dk

I wouldn't waste my money on that. If you need a new tube get a new one they are cheap but don't waste twenty dollars on that.

they r crap. they move around in ur tire and it aint a tight fit. if u dont wanna get flats the get a good tube and a little things that goes around the outside of the tube..... go to www.stopflats.com

i was lookin at those stopflats a while ago. for a while i was goin through like 2 or 3 tubes a week. but then i realized that it was on the inside of the rim, not the outside.

ya i just got these froms from my lbs and its amazing dude i ride threw thorn patches all day long and no damage.

can i find these things in a bike shop instead of orderin em online?? like my local gordys bike shop

Don't worry about flats. I don't but i guess I have about 200 spare tubes in my garage.

wat about slime does that stuff work??
not the slime in the tube but the bottle

Dude seriously don't worry about it. Generic tubes are like two dollars they work as replacements.

yea i guess then

Just ride. If your still worried then try a cheaper solution

do they hav any shops that carry em??

Just get them from dan's comp or they might have something like that at a shop. I don't know though I don't trust bike shops.

haha y not??

I had a guy that worked for one give me false info about gearing and hubs. Then, found out after I gained experience that he lied to me. Never went back there again I get all my stuff from Dan's Comp and most of my info on here.

Did you guys even look at the weight, Shipping Weight (in pounds):3.25
That means that the tube might be 3lbs, when a normal one is half a pound. wtf...

damn homie that suks
buh thxs for ur info :thumb:

weight is nothing. just get stronger

dude just get the slim ones. there at most lbs or getting something along the lines they r 15 buck and no more flats

Wal-mart tubes ftw. I actually have a few of the plain Danscomp ones too.

dont waste your money on that slime garbage.

That stuff is a complete waste.

super thick? my lbs sells em for like $10 a pop.

no not the slim stuff. its the strips that go around ur tire like the stop flats. its just made by the slime people.

I got a pinch yesterday by bunnyhopping up a 4.
I did it perfectly the time before then cased it and POP.

haha. have you seen summer of FIT? in the very end, like at the credits, dakota roche blows a tire. just airing a quarter. and if you've ever seen Ride BMX's flipside, then you've seen blackman do that 540 drop to bank. tire just exploded.

nd wat are some good beginner tricks on a bike?? i wana ride street so yea

Try bunny hopping base of most or all street tricks.

i can bunny hop already but i wana learn more tricks

get bunnyhops big solid and smooth, and then move on to 180's. good summer project for a beginner.

yea ive tried the 180s but i get more of a 90.nd i always practicin on it to improve but shyt..!! i cnt get it :)

its kinda easy to learn on banks. thats how i did it. and then, when i got those solid, took it to flat. and now im gettin a freecoaster sometime soon, so im gonna be usin em a lot.

I want a freecoaster but I'm poor right now lol so maybe I will save up.

wat kind of a bike do u ride?? n does the 180 have any thing to do with the weight of the bike cuz im can lift it up easily while hoppin

i have an old diamondback frame right now. basically everything minus the frame and fork has been swapped. and im sick of a casette. im gettin lucky on the freecoaster though. my family is selling some land, and my mom said that she was gonna use the money and buy everyone a new bike. i talked to her, and now im gettin parts instead. im stoooooooooooooooked. freecoaster, bars, and maybe a new sprocket =].

You don't have to pedal backward while riding fakie?

I have to pedal backwards when I ride fakie.

yea. right now i have a casette. it took me so long to learn to actually backpedal, and then you have to throw the little turn around pull at the end. my mind really doesnt work that way haha. plus, i really like the way ian schwartz is so smooth, and i really wanna be like him now. watch the sunday gone fishin web vid and youll know exactly what im talkin about.
