I'm new to road cycling, but have been mountain biking for a few years. My mtb bike has slime tubes, which have saved me endless grief on the trails here in Phoenix. The question:
Does anyone use slime tubes for the road?
I got a flat from a stupid staple, of all things, that with slime, I could pump , spin the wheel, and ride on.
Next question: Does anyone know how road tires hold up on the unpaved portions of the canals? There's about 5 miles of unpaved portion of the Arizona Canal that I'd like to ride, but I'm not sure if the little gravelly rocks will slice the tires.
Thanks for any and all input.
