i have balls........?????

Post by Fred Hink » Mon Oct 15, 2012 10:27 am

You sure this was a Metzeler and not a Bridgestone UHD tube? Just about every Bridgestone UHD tube I have dealt with will have these rubber BBs inside. They don t seem to bother anything and you can t hear them once underway.

When I pulled the tube and held it up, I could feel them in the bottom. To BIG to have gotten in or out threw the stem. (1/8-3/16? inch)

Were you able to get them out through the valve stem, or did you have to cut the tube open? --- In mailto:DSN_KLR650%40yahoogroups.com, mark ward wrote: > > I was ballancing the new tire and heard a noise. > > It turn out, there are 4 little (rubber?) balls inside the inner-tube.
