Use larger tyres, such as Continental Gatorskin 700x78.

Durable 23c or 25c Road Tires - Recommendations?
After 3000 miles without a flat (I'll be sorry I said that), I can
recommend the 25 mm Michelin Carbon tires. My usage has been 90% on paved roads, but the other 10% has been dirt and fine gravel without any problems yet. They ride just fine. I'm 150 lbs and use 100 psi in front and 110 in the rear. |

Craig:
I don't mean to be rude, but your opinion doesn't count. See, you are 150lbs. Those of us having the concerns with flats are what you would probably refer to as "fatsos". So, stick to things that you know about, like, how to go fast uphill, how to drop fatsos on sprints, corners or any ride that has more than 0.00001% grade, and riding on very light bikes. Leave the discussion about flats to us, experts, in this topic. To have expertise, you need to be closer to 200lbs and get drop just because you think about a hill. If you look anything like Homer Simpson, your are welcome to participate. Otherwise, stock to other topics.

Craig Do you have 'goatheads' or similar thorns where you are? That's my biggest problem here and it's a real issue too. I've had a nail or two, but mostly it's these long three sided thorns which do my tires in. Do you use sealant in your tubes? Tire liners? -paul |

Since switching to Conti Ultra Gatorskins and keeping an eye on tire pressure I've had no flats in a good while now. So far, so good! Do you use sealant in your tubes? Tire liners? I don't use either on my road bike. On my MTB I use liners. --- Splat |
