Finally got it running

[Spineshank]

I finally got my tri moto running. I was having alot of problems getting it to go and then bam, I got it. As excited as I was i turned out to be just as upset. What i thought would be an easy tire to get fixed wasnt. Everywhere around here said they would have to get a new tube because they didnt have it in stock, and they all closed early cause its the day before easter. So now that it runs i cant ride it lol, what a day.

wallmart sells tires that will fit they are not the best tires but they will last you a good year or 2

well tahts the thing, there tires were brand new when the bike had stopped running. The tube inside is shot, i am trying to find where to get them. If anyone knows let me know.

If you're looking for tubes, wallmart might have them or any ATV or motorcycle shop should have one.

In case you didn't know, tubes in atv tires have a tendancy to shift causing them to go flat. Your rims were designed to run the tires as tubeless. If the tire is mounted correctly(with a sealer compound used to seal the tire to the rim) you should many miles of worry free usage. Key here is rims that are relatively clean on the inside and tires that are not all worn out(not so much the tread but the structural integrity of the plys). Good luck. PS. You can use the tubes but expect to eventually have problems.

Thanks alot for the info. Does anyone know where I can get a valve stem. The hole in the rim appears to be too small for a regular sized one. I dont have them since there is a tub ein them.

[TimSr]

Any auto parts store, or gas station that sells tires has them. They are a standard hole size, and vary in length.

If you just want to get new tubes, ceck jcwhitney.com or denniskirk.com or see if you can patch your tubes.
