Hi everybody,
Sorry if this topic has come up fairly recently but I am new here.
What is the best way of avoiding flats on little used bridleways and trails? Are there tubes and tyres that do a particularly good job of defending against the pesky thorns and brambles that litter these off road routes?
I use slime liners that should in theory protect against punctures in the tread area but I have had a lot of thorns go right through them and even had pinch flats caused by the liner itself! I have tried slime filled tubes but have had absolutely no luck with them. After getting sick to death of having to walk miles across muddy fields back home, I reverted back to using cheap tubes and simply keeping a couple of spares on me at all times.
Thoughts and advice would be most welcome.
