Better Tubes?
is there a stronger or better tube out there i can buy? i took my bike out for the first time really with a friend on some trails. first time riding this kinda stuff, was all trees and mud and snow and a river. it was awesome, i am hooked and cant wait to get back out and play in the mud. its so different from what im use to. challenging but fun. anyway i popped a tube half way out inthe woods and walked it back. ill now be carring a few tubes with me. the bike is only 2 weeks old so they are all old and stuff. do they make a stronger tube for trail riding or just hope for the best?

What kind of flat was it? If it were thorn related, there could be a different answer than if it was a snake bite.
