Tried slime tubes, but ended up walking home after hitting glass. Both tires! SOL. I'm now trying spinskin liners for the front 24" wheel, and gatorskins on the rear. The rear has held up well, but 1 week out with spinskins the front got a flat. Got a new tire, too, but selection is limited for 24".
I get so many flats that I'm actually getting worse at changing and patching the tires. I'm hoping the tide will change soon.
skm
do they make a kevlar tire in that size??....mine are specialized flakjackets and they weren't that expensive. I've ridden thru all kinds of junk on them so far and nothing - not even a nick.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"
