the tire is a big apple 29x2.35. After working in a bike shop for 9
years I have seen many different kinds of flats, and these ones are
plain old stuff getting through the tread. The bulk of my flats are
goat heads.

The Big Apple is supposed to have a kevlar belt in it to prevent flats.
My thought is that if it is working at all I must be riding on the worst
section of road ever.

Thanks for all of the advice about flats. I will look into going
tubeless. I was posting this idea for the benefit of anyone else with a
road uni, and puncture problems. It's simple, cheap, fast, light, and
it works well at what it does.
