| Re: Tubes
Get thorn resistant tubes that are extra thick on the outside. Also be sure
to use tires with Kevlar linings, and/or add a kevlar lining yourself
between the tire and tube. If you do this latter precaution, you need the
thicker tube or the liner could cause a flat.
This combination had reduced my number of flats dramatically. But it
doesn't eliminate them. The thick tubes are perhaps more susceptible to
stem failures, if my experience is any guide. Plus once I ran over a screw
that punctured through everything.
