Are mud intertube the best choice for a flat tire bicicle.? It is a mongoose bike
I have had bad experiences with the tubes that mud or other things in it. When I used I always had problems with the drool coming out when lowering air pressure and clogging the valve.
Visit your local bike shop and take some DH (downhill) tubes. They are much thicker than standard bulbs and are very resistant to flats
I ran slime inner tubes for a while and they are the best to not have a type of dish, but they are also very heavy witch can be a problem if you have a Mongoose BMX because it is important keep weight down, but on a mountain bike is the best choice long term.
Some people like mud tubes. Personally. I have not had good luck. The only time I've tried, not even the tire pressure and the tube failed. Second, he had not joined the leaks because they said it would. So now I just realized a patch kit and some spare parts when I ride.
mud tires suck !!!!! They are too expensive and if they run low or you need to take the air in your tires out the silt. And they are only good for punctures the size of a pinhole. So just buy regular tires or down and wear a calm patch or a new tube and a pump.
They are generally less expensive, lower quality tires and shoes spray valve, which makes them ultimately impossible to pump.
Tried 'em, hated' em.
Get a patch kit and a CO2 inflator to carry with you. That is all.
