Wouldn't you only really need it in the rear tyre?

A lot of people probably don't realise it - but the disc brakes put a lot more torque on everything - more than the motor ever could . Simply slamming the brakes on hard can cause even the front tyre to spin on the rim if there's no rim locks or the tyre pressure is low ! The brakes have enough power to lock the rear wheel up at any speed - but the engine doesn't have the power to spin the wheel at any speed .

Sounds like bad luck more than anything mate, but 32psi sounds a little high, i usually run 26psi and thought that was hard enough but maybe 26psi isnt enough and 30-32psi is more the standard, what do others run?? I changed my tyre the other day with a new kenda carlsbad rear and hit something close to theoutside of the tyre and it still pinched the tube between the tyre and rim wall, seems to happen more than often, maybe my pressure isnt high enough, got me thinkn

Iv'e been running round with about 20psi in the rear, only had my first flat last weekend playing in the mud, and iv'e had the thing since around Oct last year?? Now it's flat though the rim lock (that iv'e sitting there for the last 4 months) will be going on.

take your wheel off,
tube out, tyre off,
drill a hole through the rim, deburr the edges,
refit the tyre, rimlock and then the tube.

easy enough to do,
just dont go pinching the tube under the rimlock when you fit it back together, and pump it up.
