Avoid debris.

Or rather, I like to know what works for you?

I am also looking for what gives the best rollings resistants performance.


I really like my Vittoria Randonneur Pros - don't have measured
performance, but they ride nice.

I know my question is broad , but I rather not make a bias by asking
about a particular product .

Panasonic Panaracer Pasela TG

or possibly Panaracer RiBMo TG but that's a stiffer casing,
not to everyone's taste.

The article claims that rolling resistance decreases with increased
speed. *I haven't tried it.

I haven't either, but I can hardly imagine riding those in anything
other than a straight line.

The Panaracer Ribmo may be a good choice, but I don't know if they are
still made; they are available on Ebay. Not a light tire, but very
puncture resistant - almost puncture proof - and rides well enough once
you get it rolling. This kind of tire isn't for your next Tour de France
outing, its to get from A to B in town as a commuter with minimal
problems and none from flats.

I'd like to hear the experience of others that have used the Ribmo.

I resorted to sets of 1.25" clinchers with excellent results compared
to 1-2 flats a day.

Everything is a compromise.

I seem to have nothing but old-tech answers, but I still ride with
Tire Savers (a.k.a. flint catchers). I used to ride tubulars in NYC,
now I commute on 700cx28s. I almost never get puncture flats, in
fact the last 3 flats were "old tube" flats (valve stem abrasion from
the edge of the hole in the rim), and that in the space of 8 or so years
at 50 mi/wk.

Yes, they rub the tire, but if set up correctly do very little to slow the
spin.

24mm training tubulars with tyre skimmers at about 80psi and stay out
the gutter and rarely ride in the wet.

It's a 2-ply tubular tyre, cold assembled with a flat seam. Tyre x-
section should match the rim's tyre bed and the two should be well
stuck together.

Well, one could just wrap a giant rubber band around the outside for
traction. A bit of overhang on the sides should help with cornering.
Maybe adding a big o-ring.

Hmmm.... 72 wing nuts per wheel.

Or, maybe something with more traction:

Now, I know what to do with my old shoes. Got a wheel in size 8 mens
shoes?

liners eat tubes. the overlap does it. expect an expensive pre slimed
throneproof, which is if not puncture proof, highly resistant, to go
with a indented tear area after 2000 miles ? not bad but always a
surprise. WTF happened to muh tube ?

Try trimming the band to length, gluing the ends together and latexing
in to the tyre. I know these things ward off thorns very well when
used in conjunction with a light tyre but you still have to be wary
about sidewall damage if you go that route.

Liners are extreme measures for hi plains people like Fogel who live
with the dreaded cactus goathead. Tourist Trash, edge of a garbage
dump, construction areas....got construction in a tourist area...gear

stopped on broad shoulder concrete to examine and golly gee there's a

I continued onward for 20 miles, changed tube 2 days later.
how's that for a recommend ? not racer spec, gram weenie
