[QUOTE="Nulli Secundus, post: 55200, member: 560"] I think you can probably attribute your slide off Derek to an under inflated tyre. I have had quite a lurid slide in the dry when my rear Roadrider was under inflated and this shows I should have checked them before setting off :oops:. I agree with Roy with regards to Roadriders in the wet. Before Roadriders I used Super Venoms (I think it was) and they use to do a tubeless version and tubed version. I use to buy the tubed version, as presumably it had a smoother inner carcase and was kinder to the inner tube, which had to make it safer. Eventually they dropped the tubed version and then of course the Roadrider came out which are tubeless tyres. On the sidewall it states that "if fitted to a tube type rim fit a tube", so it sounds like we are OK to do so, but it does make you wonder what goes on if you are running a tyre under inflated. The tyre will flex a lot and generate heat, but will movement also chafe the inner tube? There had to be a reason why Avon use to do tubeless and tubed versions of the Super Venom. Another bad thing with regards to running an under inflated tyre is the tyre may creep on the rim and tear the valve out of the tube. [/QUOTE]
