I haven't had any installed in my wheels since I purchased the bike back in 2012. Never a flat in the many miles I've put on it, but who's to say I won't get one. One of the biggest issues on our roads for cyclists is what we call goatheads. They are nasty thorns that can easily puncture your tire. I run decent tires, Schwalbe Marathons that have a protective lining, but I'm sure a properly located goathead will find it's way through.
Lately, I have been thinking of having liners installed since my friends have been getting flats recently, especially from goatheads. Looking at some of the choices, I have seen good reviews on two products. The Rhinodillos and My. Tuffy. Right now my friend and I are in a debate. He thinks Mr Tuffy is the best, but from some video reviews, it shows Rhinodillos being the better of the two. Any thoughts folks?
For those that haven't heard of, or seen goatheads, I have included a photo below. Believe me, those thorns are very sharp.
As you can see, they are a nasty thing to have on the roads.
