When this happens I think the tire tends to pinch flat a little easier. I found this to be true runnning the for cross. Switched to the larger tube and it seemed to clear the problem up.
But like I siad thsi was my experence, you mileage may vary.
Oh and dont worry about Operator he's rude to everyone.
Thank-you very much! Hopefully i can prove to this guy i'm not unknown in the area of the bike trade, being a cytech level 2 qualified mechanic and DT Swiss pro wheelbuilder i think i deserve my place somewhere, also working in a 60+ year old well established company known for hand crafted and finished frames. But good to known he's like this to everyone, thought he was just giving me a hard time with me being a new-comer knowning a little.
