try 2 layers of Kevlar liner

J with a math background should compare these forces as forward energy


Math background doesn't apply here, experience does. The thicker a tire
is in the side walls and the thicker a tube is on the sides the lower
the chance of a flat.

On my MTB I got sturdy tires plus tire liner plus old tube over the tire
liner plus thick tubes all around. The result is no flats except for one
(very violent) blow-out where chunks of tire flew around and ripped some
other stuff off the bike. Debris all over the place. It also caused a
five-cow mini-stampede.

Now I need something like this for the road bike. Thick tubes I've got.
Tires are the issue. Must be 700c*25 and not running a bit small like
the Gatorskin or supposedly the Nashbar SCR. I want to be able to get
them on and off without blue fingers.
