What kind of flats do you get? Will liner work?

I have gotten flats. They are always the same. No rocks, nails or glass. Always goathead thorns. It seems that most liners will resist a short thorn.

Have any of you gotten glass or nail flats? If not, I want a product that has adhesive. Then you could apply them on the innertubes. This would make them much easier to install.

Also, are flat profile tires more prone than rounded ones?

So tell me what got thru your tires?

Have you considered getting solid inserts from? Has-Ben's Esk8 Retirement Shop

I have gotten 4 flats in the past 3 years, thorns, glass, random metal shard and…tire liner which somehow got folded up and cut into the tube, Having adhesive is a great idea. Now I just carry two fully assembled spares with me unless I’m riding my SixShooter with the Clever 6x2 tires, those tires are tough with thicker sidewalls that can be ridden on.

Yoga mattress is being working for me wonderfully. For years on several setups.
It is soft and flexible and doesn’t cut the tube if folded internally due to pressures.
Maybe it can’t prevent serious nails , but 99% of the shit, it blocks just fine.
Just cut a band at the length/width you need and shove it in between the tyre and the tube.
0 flats in the past 2 years (riding almost every weekend).
