does anyone have any good ways to keep from getting flat tires? every time i ride i pop at least one tube, and it's pissing me off. i tried primo thornproof, but they popped faster. there's nothing sharp inside my rim and i don't weigh a whole hell of a lot, so i need some good, solid advice.

Where the hell are you riding... it takes me a month and then a good hard slam on cement before i blow a tube. Try getting some primo dirtmonster tires to give you some space from the sharp objects on the ground... also, check the inside of the actual tire for any foreign stuff. Also, it there a rim lining? Make sure you arent riding tires over the recommended PSI.

i already ride primo dirt monsters, have one layer of duct tape, the rim strip, and another layer of tape and i still get flats. I checked the tire and the rim and they're both fine. no spokes are poking through or anything. i havent popped one yet this year, but then again, i've only ridden once since august. i'm just hoping my tire-popping frenzy is over

get some FATBOY tires. or just get some tubes that reseal themselves if they get a hole in 'em. (little holes that is). not big fat gashes! i had some tubes like that and they're still on my bike. (i think) it got stolen so i dunno. Im getting a new one though. its so cool.
