There are 5 bicycles hanging in the garage. There is *one tire* with air in it.
My last 3 trips on the Hilsen have seen no fewer than 2 punctures per trip. All caused by goat heads. I think I am going to finally bite the bullet and pick up a set of Marathons. I have seen evidence of a 700 x 47 (41 actual) Marathon (Supreme??) on a Hilsen that would be stellar. I like the big meat on the hoops off road. Unfortunately the widest I see searching the web is 40 now....bummer. There seems to be some pretty lofty praise on the Marathons being as anti flat as is available. From what I gather, the "Supreme" is the, well, supreme? Anyone gone the Foss route yet? The previous players: Sealants: True Goo - worked for a month, then stopped. Slime - slowed the leak a little then created a huge mess in the tire. Caffe Latex - worked for @ 2 months, then clogged the valve. Tires: 700x37 Pasela TG. 700x42 IRC Slick XC. 700x32 Conti Twister Pro. 700x35 Schwalbe Delta Cruisers with puncture protection. These tires excelled in different areas, but on the roads/path I take most often they all suffered the dreaded goat head rapture (rupture?) about equally. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
