Hi Cusepack,
When I first got my Sequoia roadbike, a few years ago, I had so many flats it was ridiculous. I must of had at least 2 flats a week and it got to the point where, like you, I was "flat shy"...just waiting for that next flat. Anyway, I got so tired of those flats ( and pretty good at fixing them) that I decided to put the most resistant tubes and tires on my bike. So ever since I put armadillo tires, and with a liner in them, I have not had a flat since and that is no exaggeration! But I did get flats from pinching the tube against the rim when over inflating it with my pump...or screwing down that screw on the presta valve to tight. Now I keep that screw really loose, or none at all.
The armadillo tires with liners do make the bike heavier and the tires seem to wear out quicker...but its a trade-off I'm willing to make to have no flats. Maybe a different brand tube can help, too.
Good luck and may you not have those flat tire blues!!
Clare
