MTB flats every ride!

[caligurl]

lol! well... i started out with specialized tubes (cuz it's a specialized!) bought the performance... cuz ya.... they are cheap and we have *knock on wood* great luck with them on the road bikes!

i'm pretty sure it's stickers.... (goatheads) causing the flats... i'm in the desert....

we looked at the tape stuff (don't think it was tuffy) at the bike shop in PS.... but waited cuz we knew we weren't gonna be mtb-ing too much till after oct 1st... and wanted to see what the closer bike shop had... unfortunately.. that visit ended up horribly (looooooong story.... i'll have to share eventually involving hubby's new "dream" bike... grrrrrrrr HATE the LBS right now!) but anyways.....)

when we get back down to PS when the bike store is open.... i think we'll pick up that tape stuff... it's only 2.125 or something like that... and my tires are 2.2... but cory (one of the bike shop guys who is a big mtb-er) said he runs them on his bike and his tires are wider than mine...

hubby doesn't want slime... so i'll not use it either... for now.. and try the tape stuff! heck... if we get further down the hill when shops are open... i'll check other stores for tuffy (maybe cylery usa will have it???) (we're thinking of driving down and doing oak glen this weekend.... so cyclery usa is right near there!)

you can try Air-Loc.....it's the next generation Slime. It doesn't congeal like Slime does and it's lighter. I run Air-Loc in my road bikes And my MTBs and right now I have Slime in my commuter bike.
