| Re: Mr. Tuffy bit my tube!
Most 700x23c tubes are pretty thin anyway, and won't last forever.
I've had similar problem slow leaks at the seam of the tire liners..
Even with these slow leaks, the number of flats I experienced dropped
way down.
I did not want to stop using liners, so I tried other methods to
prevent those leaks.
One simple method is to reduce the pressure to, say, 100 psi instead of
110 or 120.
Another is to add a cushion at the seam. At first I used the old
folded dollar bill trick, then I switched to chamfering the liner's
edge and covered it with a cut up piece of oldtube.
I can't detect any vibration or out-of-round bumps while riding, and I
don't have leaks at the liner seam anymore.
