i would not run the chunder, or anything not dualply. got way more flats than usual with them.

throw on something else, then you can drop the DH tubes too and put in normal tubes.

No, it means it doesnt get flats often, as some people stated.


And for myself, and dont really care about the rear tire, I pay way more attention to the front.

What rims are you running? This also takes an important role...

I dont know that specific model, I guess it is good at avoiding pinch flats... I used to have a Sun Rim S-type long time ago, that rim was like a knife!

the rim i think has alot to do with it: i ran my chunders on 823's, and i did get more flats in general with these rims than my old doubletracks. i think the 823 is so superstiff that it dosent give at all (aka flatspot) and instead pinches the tube.

still i dont like chunders. the only reason i was running tubes with them on 823's is because i blew both of the tires off the rims landing a jump. NOT cool.
and they did pinch out more often than my minions and nevegals.

I would just rock what you have planned, the cheaper (while reliable) the better. Getting lift ticket is worth way more then a few grams. Just upgrade parts when they go.

that sucks, ive only had great experience with the chunders. ive had a 2.3 chunder up front for a while now and the tread is still at 50%. ive had to change the back twice in that time though
