Tire Balls
Tire Balls are the best choice for any rider who absolutely cannot have a flat tire during a race or on the trail. Developed by Wade Summers, father of multi-time GNCC Champion Scott Summers, Tire Balls offer a better alternative to Tech Tubes or Bib Mousse foam inserts.
Scott Summers says, "Tire Balls are like a smart system, the harder you hit something the higher the pressure goes."
The Tire Ball High Performance Inflation System consists of multiple individual inflation cells inside your tire - not just one tube. 21" front tires typically use 45 - 48 Tire Balls. 18" rear tires normally use 32 - 35 Tire Balls. Effective tire pressure can be varied for conditions by adding or removing Tire Balls or by adjusting the air pressure in the individual cells. Cell pressures can be adjusted from 8 - 9 lbs for woods riding to 12 - 13 for high-speed desert conditions.
Each individual Tire Ball cell is made from state of the art materials that are 10 times more puncture resistant than conventional heavy-duty neoprene tubes. Punctures are still possible, but very rare. Instead of losing all the air in your tire, only one cell goes flat, allowing you to finish the ride.
Tire Ball advantages over foam inserts
- Less Weight
Tire Balls are lighter than most tubes. Foam inserts add significant unsprung weight, hurting suspension compliance.
- Less Hassle
Tire Balls can be left in the tire between rides or races. Foam inserts must be removed to avoid "compression" of the foam.
- Adjustable Pressures
Tire Ball quantities and pressures can be varied to suit conditions. Foam inserts have no adjustability.
- No Re-Lubing necessary
Tire Balls are lubricated upon installation in the tire. Foam inserts must be re-greased regularly to avoid friction wear and melting.
- Better Traction
Low pressures gives better grip without worrying about flats.
- Durability
Tire Balls last for years. Foam inserts are replaced as they compress and wear out.
- Price
If you are buying 2 sets of foam inserts per year, Tire Balls will save you money!
- 1 year Warranty
Tire Balls have a 1 year unconditional warranty!
