Don't have the Foss tubes on a bike right now.  Was going to use them
year round on a winter bike, but they were awfully tough to get on a
rim in cool (freezing or below) weather.  They also didn't want to fit
under a slightly smaller studded tire.

Which comes to my other complaint - I personally didn't like the ride
feel.  Yes, almost certainly a princess and the pea type thing.  But
in my mind, under a set of 26x2.0 Marathon Duremes, they felt stiff.
Road bumps seemed more jarring.

Again, that is all personal.  And just my opinion.  Oh, and as far as
I can tell, we don't have goatheads here.  Small little burrs and
stickers, but nothing like the size of a goathead.
