Cosmo, I've searched far & wide; I haven't found a heavy tube that fits the
rear wheel of a klr. Let a fellow Slav know if you indeed have a source. The
"extra heat" rap sounds like more of the silly input listers are regularly
feed from dealer's service departments. Then again, what do I know. Bogdan

Guess I'll have to take a couple home from Moab. Could have sworn I asked
you about this before; Oh well, great you have them now. Bogdan

I've been using normal tubes for 20 years. I use low inflation of 8-12psi
for hardcore offroad (forest, not much desert). I can't imagine heavy-duty
tubes are a necessity. Might help for Baja....
I don't like them because they are heavy and hard to deal with. Might work
well for other riding/mekkaniking styles, but I sure wouldn't unbolt a
wheel just to make the change.

Bridgestone makes an 18" that I've been riding with no problems for about 6
months. I think I remember getting it from Dennis Kirk.

I have a front tube made by Trellborg; Off Road Motorcycle Tube
Size: 2.75-3.50-21 Type Super Competition. Its my spare tube so I haven't used it yet. My dealer ordered it for me a year ago, and I don't know where it came from, it looks and feels heavy.

I'm working through 5 days of e-mail so this might have already been
answered----the only one I've found is made by Trelleborg. I think that
Chapparal and D. Kirk catalogues list it.

I tend to use lard and baby pwder and 'grease' the tube, the lard seals the puncture while the baby powder allows the lard to congeal. This way I carry lard and use it for both my tubes, chain, and any other areas that may require a lubin'.

Cool, Organic Slime. You're a real earth guy, Carl. Lard is also best for
frying catfish, way better than oil in refried beans and the list goes on.
I'll never forgive Nabisco for caving in to the wooses and taking it out of
their crackers; they haven't been the same. Bogdan
