I'm getting ready to race in the Terrible's Town 250 so I'm getting supplies together. What tube is the best to use for Desert racing? Common sence would say a heavy tube. Normaly for hare scrambles or just for desert riding I use a MSR ultra heavy duty, Pikes Peak I use a standard tube [ due to the high speed but smooth road ]. When I was Dirt tracking I used a standard, again high speed but smooth track. I picked up 2 MSR tubes the other day, but also a Fly racing 4mm tube. This tube is very thick, much more so than even the MSR. I guess my real question is - Is the Fly TOO thick, going to build too much heat, or should I just not worry about it and run the MSR's that I have never had a problem with?
This is my first 250+ mile race and I may be putting too much thought into it but I just want to be as prepared as possible.
Desert racers help me out.
Thanks Dan
