Thruxton Rear inner tube failure

Howdo DD, that looks like the rubber's torn at the base of the valve from here . I had a rear puncture not long after I got mine, valve ripped but I found a tiny hole elsewhere too . No sharp stuff found, the tyre is still on -with no more flats .

 

I've been saying for months that Triumphs attitude to quality is disappointing. Cheap and nasty seems to be good enough as long as they're maximising profits. No doubt it will be your fault for washing your wheels incorrectly.

 

How did you get on with this. I’ve just had same problem

 

I have no experience or involvement of this problem but what i can say is Triumph resolved my warranty issue quickly and efficiently.
Approach them in a polite methodical manner with photos as evidence and let us know the response?

 

I

i do think a lot of the build quality issues are because owners are not told things like un lacquered engine cases can’t be ridden in wet salty conditions and left,
So a lot of owners are unaware they will suffer because of a lack of information in the first place

 

The rip could be down to the rear tyre slipping on the rim and dragging the tube with it :-(

 

I’ve just had the same issue as has a friend of mine. Not good

 

One great idea is to use 3M tape and go tubeless, if not a good tip is to clean all tyre fitting lube from tyre n rim before inflating tyre onto the wheel rim

 

Yes I’m thinking of heading that way

 

I had a front inner tube fail the same way. Fortunately I was waiting to go onto a roundabout at the time, although I had just exited a motorway. I have since had both wheels made by DR Wheels in Devon using the original hun nut with stainless rims and spokes, also adapted to go tubeless. In my opinion well worth the expense.

 

Have you any photos and cost ?

it wasnt cheap, i think in the region of 1250. I'm away from home until Friday so will post some when I get back. The wheels are in my opinion top quality highly polished and being stainless should remain so. Also the rims and spokes are made in the UK.

 

Is that nut meant to be in that position. It’s been a long time since I’ve had tubes on a motorcycle, my mountain bike has tubes, and but the thread doesn’t go all the way down, but from memory isn’t that dome shape supposed to fit to the recess inside the rim with the nut on top, I.e outside the rim, to secure the tube in place? It looks from the residue in the threads like it hasn’t been screwed on after the tube has been removed, or that there was a securing nut on the outside?
Sh!t, just seen the date of the original post
