I'm very late to this party, but: Jan wrote: "wider tires get fewer flats anyhow."
Not my experience at all, at least not in goathead country! I've noticed this consistently over 20+ years of Albuquerque riding, adjusting for mileage differences between bikes shod with different tires, and raised my puzzled query as to why onlist before. My 22s consistently get fewer, or at least no more, flats on the same paved routes than my 32s; certainly than the Parigi Roubaix 29s before Stan's. And note that the narrow tires in question are very light and delicate ones -- =<200 gram Turbos., GPs, Pro Races, etc. Why would narrower tires get fewer flats, as i my experience? Ryan Watson says they fit between the penetrants more easily, but he may have just been kidding. Why would wider ones get fewer flats, for that matter? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
