    I agree with Deb. Just get what your LBS carries. I just flatted Saturday - tire was cut with what looked like a shell. I pulled out a piece of very sharp rock. This was my first flat all summer - not bad.

    The big/bulky DH tubes can be harder to install on your tire. There is so much extra material it can actually be easier to pinch.

    I agree. Go with the regular tubes and be sure to check your tire pressure before each ride to cut down on the risk of pinch flats.
