Goatheads have cost us ALOT of money. Not only on our bikes, but our baby jogger.Mimitabby, AWESOME pictures, they are horrible, especially when you find one in your 14 year olds mouth, because she thought it was food!:eek:
I know DH had the hardcase tires by Bontager put on with slime tubes and then added slime on top of that, we STILL get flats:( Not as bad, but we do.
Nasty looking buggers, those thorns.
You might want to check out these tires http://schwalbetires.com/node/142/ok
my LBS showed me these things - they are about as puncture proof as you can get since they have a layer of foam in them that is probably about as thick as one of those thorns is long.... I would guess that they are not the lightest or fastest tires out there, but I would think its a whole lot slower to be fixing all of those flats....
Your 14 year old thinks goatheads are FOOD? :confused:Quote:

I'm sure it slows me down a bit, but not nearly as much as changing a tire would have. I may use them for LRRH in June because I really don't want to have to fix a flat.
DH did the Ironman this weekend and he used Slimeliners and he didn't flat over 112 miles.
