I have been thinking about this for a while, not that I have been loosing too many tubes at the moment, just a lucky streak, I was burning through them a year ago. you can watch the road tire install video here: http://www.notubes.com/movie_road.php and the list of accepted tires here: http://www.notubes.com/support_tire.php Panaracer/Panasonic is not on the "do not use" list and may be safe under the "other brands" determination Rmember they are making the G and Riv tires, and possibly the Pacenti tires as well. Schwalbe is on the OK, but I am trying to wear out my Jack Browns before moving onto a set of Kojaks I would love to not have to worry about glass and truck wires, the two biggest offenders here, I am convinced raod side bottle smashing will be in the X Games soon. nd do not for get that goathead season is setting in here as well
