An actual cycling question - plagued by flats lately
I've been using the Vittoria Paves but the last 3 rides I went out on
I flatted. Anyone have any good (not slime for ****s sake) strategies or a hot clincher set up for flat avoidance? Has to be in the 23-25mm range because of clearance concerns. TIA

Hell, everything about your ride will be better than what you'd get with all but the best tubulars or "race quality" clinchers.

Would be concerned about this possibility http://yarchive.net/bike/tire_goo.html

I've had good luck with them the last couple of seasons with respect to high (junk) mileage and flat avoidance.

While I haven't had any punctures yet, the ride alone is worth the switch. I'm using Ultegra WH-6700's and Specialized tubeless tires, with Slime. Brad Anders

Old and in the way, Steve i hope you whipper-snappers aren't riding tubeless with all-carbon forks ... because god knows even Slime (TM) won't help you in the event of a blowout/fork explosion
