That tube had around 1500 miles on it, 60/40 street and dirt use, quite a few wheelies. Its an IRC heavy duty tube, and I'm slightly ashamed to say I'm still using it, not losing any pressure though. It's f'n solid, lol.
Wow!!!

I guess I am over thinking the tubes also. Seems like they work pretty well no matter what. Probably a nail or long cactus thorn is the only thing that’s going to pierce them.
