2 flats in 2 weeks is nothin'. I live in goathead country too and was getting frustrated with my constantly flat tires. I decided to get Bontragers with the Kevlar strip which came highly recommended to me by a fellow rider. Ummm, I got 4 (yes FOUR) flats on the first ride with them! I was not amused then but now can see the humor. Nothing is gonna stop a goathead so I decided to carry 2 extra tubes and a patch kit.

Oh, to live somewhere without goatheads. It would be bliss!
