[quote="rully":3gmtgs0q]with KHEs that's bound to happen..[/quote:3gmtgs0q]
Some have had bad luck with KHE tyres and tubes, but not me.
I've had 6 KHE tyres without problems. The puncture at the
Bali memorial was a thorn, then the replacement tube that
randomly exploded was a no name cheapy which I will no
longer use. The funny thing was I was about to try double foot
forward steams, and without any pressure it went off like a gun.
The twiggy tube lasted me 2 years. The only 2 punctures with
twiggy tubes was glass and thorns, not dodgy tyres/tubes. On
average I run around 125 psi.

ahem...
Yeah, I've ran that many KHE premiums it's crazy, but I have yet to blow a
side wall out, or just blow the tread off it or something crazy like that, they just
wear out super quick with my style of tricks and surface I ride on.. [Image Can Not Be Found]
I once wore a brand new Premium tyre out in 3 weeks without blowing it out.
It was all the way down to the threads and after some turbine trick I was doing
I noticed my wheel had some 'hop' in it. I looked at it and the tube had pushed
through the exposed threads into the shape of golf ball!
But still didn't blow.. that or the tube!
KHE twiggy's however... I always have to hold the neck of the valve steady with
a set of pliers while I seat the inflator onto it. They always (with me) tear the
rubber around the neck that seals it to the tube itself. And the constant wobbling
of the inflator on the tube pushing it on or off will rip a hole in it.
Other than that, they work well. I reckon.

Edit: Fuck you all, not resizing them because I dont know how.
I reckon this one of mine yesterday was the tyre's fault.

Tyre just blew out on me. 15k out of pyramid hill. The car itself is 45 years old, god knows how bad a state the tyres were in. Replaced all of them today.
Best thing about the day is riding the 12k to find a phone in a 40 degree heat because there was no phone reception.
I am without a doubt getting bigger front sprocket.

If your tire is jumping off the rim then the problem is either the rim or the tire - The tire being slightly warped/ having a dented bead/ being 'kevlar beaded/ or having thin side walls could all be causes. If it's jumping off though then the rim is usually out of shape in my experience.
If the tire is just breaking then the problem is probably the tire but could be a rough spot on the rim. It's defintely not the tube if the tire is actually coming off of the rim. Tube's a tube...
In the second picture are you pretending to be Ben Moran Kit? Muscle up and be your own man!!!
