[aussiemoo666]

Gday ive just gotten into pit bikes and im having a few dramas regarding flats.

how are the tubes popping? are there punctures, or is the valve ripping?

I use kenda Heavy Duty $16 and run a rim lock so the valve doesn't rip, never had a flat

I've also just staked a front tyre on some burnt sticks, and figure its a good time to upspec from the inevitable standard crap. Pitpro are selling HD tubes for $25, where would I find some of these $16 kenda's (preferably online as getting to a bike shop is super hard for me..)??

Thanks!

You can upgrade the tube but most likely you will just get another puncture because of your tyres. Upgrading to some decent quality tyres along with the tubes will be much more effective at preventing future punctures.

I go riding with aussiemoo666 and he needs solid rubber tyres as he likes making his own tracks usually into the trees or other riders so tubes dont last long, so if anybody knows were he can purchase a pair 14'' and 12'' solid tyres from please p.m him, or ED you should try the kenda tubes first there cheaper.

im yet to try that slime stuff that you put in the tyres for self sealing punctures.... but could be worth a go

dont think it will do to well against ripped valves, though

Ive used the tyre weld before and it worked great. It kept the tyre pumped up for about a week and when it started to slowly go down I just pumped it back up and it was all good again. You are supose to remove the thorn first but I didnt bother and it still worked fine. Its a great quick fix to keep you riding.
