    Got a flat and need a tube

    Left the house for my Christmas morning ride and managed half a mile before I noticed my front tyre was close to flat. So bang goes my Christmas empty road ride out.

    Can someone please advise me on where I can get hold of a couple of tubes for my XRV (Front and Back). Links and sizes needed would be great.

    Thanks All

    I was hoping to get a heavier duty tube. Any Ideas?

    I think you can get a heavy duty tube, sorry i don't know a supplier, you could put some puncture preventer in the tubes,it's called Ultraseal, if you stick the name into Google you can find all about it.

    Cheers, thanks for the tip. It looks like good stuff.

    I'll try and hold out for heavy duty tubes but if I don't have any luck I'll follow your advice.

    I use ultra-heavy duty tubes, and Slime, in the TA, and motorcross shop/website should be able to get them. Expect to pay about £15-20 each though!

    Slime - normally Halfords,
    found these, Romvelo Extra Heavy Duty Inner Tubes

    herehttp://www.dirtbikestore.co.uk/acata...sories_66.html,

    but I haven't tried them. They sound good though, and an excellent price.

    Just my luck. Out of stock in 21". Good value though.

    Have you tried the Links page sixstring? There should be a link to BFM in Bradford, they can get HD tubes for the AT.
