Matthew - What makes you think you are doing anything wrong (aside from running over glass (which isn't always avoidable)? The Kendas (assuming you had the Kwick 9s, which are Big Ben-ish in design and weight) likely had much thicker tread and casing and that's part of the trade-off with more supple tires - they aren't as armored.
What pressures are you running on those 700x50s? As Piaw alludes, flats aren't always preventable, but it seems that running pressures as low as reasonable helps. -Dave On Wednesday, October 4, 2023 at 5:28:01 PM UTC-4 Matthew Williams wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I just got my second flat tire: a small chunk of glass pierced my > brand-new rear Schwalbe G-One Overland.
