Hi All

After 25 years without a trials bike I decided it was time to get back in the saddle or not as the case may be.

I bought a 2003 Beta Rev 3 that has a Mitas rear tyre on. The tyre had popped off the rim from the guy I bought it from so I took it to my local bike shop who kindly popped it back on again. After an hours gentle riding yesterday it popped off again.

The tyre is brand new and I was wondering what the problem may be? I asked about how much pressure you put in rear tyres at the shop and they said between 8 & 10 PSI so I can only assume thats what they put in it?

Do I need to buy a new tyre or am I missing something rather obvious.

Cheers

If you have got the standard wheel in , then all it can come down to is that cheapo tyre.

Ive made the mistake of buying all of these cheapo makes in the past and the only one that is any good is the Vee Rubber , which ive got on my Merlin twinshock tubeless rim with a tube. I run this at 3psi+ with no problem on a tubeless rim. It grips well with no problem issues. Mitus enduro tyres are good , but the trials tyres are flimsy and junk.

I think this is a case of buy cheap buy twice my friend. You need a Michelin or a Pirelli tyre with a quality bead to hug and grip the rim.

They are certainly not as good at the Michelin or Pirelli.

I’m after some tyres for my pre 65 project; I’ve overspent on all the other parts so I’m after some cheapish ones!

Anyone know if the mitas are any good for the front, and anyone tried the goldentyre GT255 I’ve read in previous post they have issues with cracking?

To me, your tires represent the quality of your ride and are an integral performance part. I can understand buying what you can afford but for a little more money you would never experience such as the topic of this thread. Michelin, Pirelli, or Dunlop are the only real choices and Dunlop barely makes the grade due to sidewall stiffness, though they may work for you Suzuki since you have a heavier rig.
