Jerry,
What type is the "much better tube nearly twice as thick" and where did you buy it?
Regards, Alfred

A good list! I carry pretty much the same, I also carry a copy of the page from the manual illustration of the wheel, handy to help see assembling. I have had two tube failures, fortunately not while landing, but the next morning flat. Both failures were at the stamp mark on the tube, weakened by that stamp. Finally found a much better tube nearly twice as thick. No more issues, but paranoid enough to carry a spare tube. I still run at 18lbs, I could see the tube wouldn’t suffer as much with more pressure but I’m not sure I wouldn’t be bouncing a lot at 26!

Alfred,

I have purchased heavy tubes from Desser Tire. The item number is TU 700/800-6 AM, Butyl Easy Valve TR-87.

Here is the link: https://www.desser.com/Aircraft-Tires-and-Tubes/700-800-6-AERO-CLASSIC-INLEAKGUARD-IN-BUTYL-TUBE-AERO-CLASS-GL-7087.asp

Valve TR-87 is the angled valve. They cost $59.95.

I also purchase Airhawk 700-6 6 ply tires from Desser.
