I have been out riding lately (finally) and I have had something like three flats. Granted, I purchased the "cheap" tube because I did not want to spend the cost for the thorn resistant tube. I guess I will next time, no matter what the cost.

Along with this, is there a difference in tire thickness too? Perhaps am I running on a cheap tire? Do I need to have the bike shop check this out foe me? They are specialized 26" tires, if that helps any. I have been doing comuting mostly and not a whole lot of dirt riding yet. It will come though.

To the commuters out there, you have the best rubber on the road right?

Thankyou for your help.
