TKC80's Heavy duty Tubes or not?
Hi, I have just got a quote for some TKC80's for ny Tenere �115 unfitted or �130 fitted to loose wheels. Sounds like a good price?
Should I get heavy duty tubes while I am on or just regular and what type should I get? The guy at the Tyre shop said you need to be careful you can't put these on road bikes!
I do a fair bit of off roading mainly greenlanes but I am wanting to go on a trip to the Pyrenees next year so wanted less punctures!
Thanks

Load of Bo****ks They are the favorites for BWM 1200 guys. I would fit normal tubes, when you lower the pressure in heavy duty tubes you have more chance of getting a pinched puncture with the tube folding on its self.

The heavy duty tubes are thicker and heavier.

Just my opinion from experince

Think he means the heavy duty tubes ! Yes i would definetly recommend heavy duty tubes ,the bike weighs 200kg and dont lower the pressure below 18psi ,if you get the ultra heavy duty which i always use they are not for road use ,something to do with heat if your travelling at aconstant 80mph+ for miles and miles,i have used them for years and done quite a bit of road miles and many many offroad miles and never had any problems ,everyone around here uses the UHD tubes or mooses

Having difficulty in tracking down a source for heavy duty inner tube for thre 130/80-17 rear. Dirtdikebitz, wemoto and others only seem to stock the 90/90-21 front. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
