Inner tube question

[jordzan]

gday ... picked up a new tube to fix a puncture today .... all i could find at the large size moto store was 2.45x17 (front wheels 17inch) tube ..... it should just fill out the wheel shouldnt it ??? it's a kenda proper motor bike one.

the manual is claiming 11psi for the front tyre ..... there tripping right ??? been running 50-60 on ma bmx for past 10 years ... figuring you want them softer for more tread on the ground etc, 11psi just seems crazy low ....wouldnt it pinch the tube? figuring this might be why i got a flat.
or may the tube have slipped ?? do the fronts even slip or need rimlocks ?

50-60 psi is way to high!!!

15 to 20 psi if you run rimlocks, 30 psi if you don't.
You really should run a rimlock on the rear, and don't go lower that 15 psi in the rear
