Ted asked if Veloflex Vlaanderen tires have latex tubes. Yes, they do. Ted asked if I am cutting em open and patching when I get flats.
I've only ridden them 36 miles, one ride, and have had zero flats. At the rate of zero flats per 36 miles, I'll never get a flat! haha. My roadside repair kit is a 2oz sealant, a pump, and tweezers to pull out the thorn, glass, wire. On the same rides where you carry a spare tire as insurance against major sidewall cuts, I will carry a spare tire as insurance against major sidewall cuts. I used to cut open tubulars and patch tubes, twenty years ago. I'm told sealant fixes the vast majority of small punctures. We'll see whether I need to get back into the tube patching business. Too be determined. I still have a clincher wheelset for my Roadeo, so you don't have to worry about the bike ever being out of commission.
