| |  RANT! flat tires
OK Ive had 2 flats in a week and it sucks, up until now Ive just been using a reg tube and a tire thats about 60% worn due to the friction rollar. I live about a mile up a hill from my usual route and walking that bike up that hill just RUINS MY DAY. So Im going to war with road debri and decided to Fight back, I just ordered 2 new tires plus 2 thorn proof tubes plus 2 nomore flats tire liners. Bringing out the the heavy artillery now............Im going to win this battle! |

Tricky if you hit the divider stripes in the road too. The soap is because they are almost impossible to get on the rim otherwise.
Ultimate solution was thorn proof tubes and putting old tubes with valve cut off between the new one and the tire. 4 years no flats. |

Just don't lean into a turn !!! | I have bought and tried the foam solid tubes from wal-mart and they roll to much....Like you said in a turn....The only way I got those to work was put a 1.75 wide tire and it was a super tight fit,fixed the roll problem,but when I went to take the tire off,I ended up having to cut the rims just to get them off(I bought a new set of rims 2.125 heavy spoke)I was going to throw the old factory rims away anyways(broken spokes and bent rims,cheap factory rims)....These tubless tires are the best....You can use your regular tube tires and turn them into tubless....
