Nimbus Nightrider 36 - defect..tube? tire?

Your LBS will have 29" tubes for sure. That’s what I use. It weighs much less than a 36" tube too. My only failures have been improper installation where a bit of tube gets pinched between bead and rim, then Kalpow!
Some agressive Pre-stretching the tube helps with the installation, as well as a liberal application of baby powder to the tube prior to installation.

Hey Andy. That looks familiar. . . .this thread could turn into a Nimbus blow-out porn thread . . . . . . . I’ll do my best to keep it porney . . . .

This is from Tour De Tucson 109 mile ride in 2008, actually its my riding buddy’s tire blew the day before the ride and the second pic is the sheet-metal hack that I was planning but didn’t have to pop-rivet on (yes, pop-rivets!!!) because we found a new Coker ribbed tire at the last minute.

Truth be told, this tortured Nimbus Nightrider tire was of the first generation and it had multiple blow-out problems on this first generation Nimbus Stealth rim (with stretched 29er tube and 36er tube both). My friend used to arm this bomb before a ride by pumping it up to about 50 psi and then disarm the bomb after the ride by dropping it down to 25psi. This final blow-out was this tire’s . . . .um . . … auto erotic asphyxiaton where he finally lost his grip in the edge of the step stool in his bedroom closet :astonished:

The new Coker tire has been blow-out free.

Last porno pic is actually doll porn from a really huge all girl naked party/orgy at Burning man 2009. . .man those skinny babes know how to mix up some fun when Ken is away. Ye ha!
