    I recently installed a set of thorn resistant tubes in a person's road bike. Those things are THICK!! I can't imagine ever popping one. I have no experience using them, but from the looks, it seems like it would work well. I don't recall the brand, I apologize. One thing I will say though, they are a VERY tight fit with the tire. DH actually had to help me out, at first i thought the tube was just too big. Very difficult to change, so if you ever did get a flat, you're basically out of the race.

    Also, they are quite heavy. If you're into keeping the weight down, don't go with these. They make your tire feel like solid rubber, so I highly doubt you would get a flat, but, you definitely sacrifice in weight.
