I recently returned from a 3 week stint in eastern Wa. (Kennewick) helping to care for my elderly mom. I had 3 flats in 3 weeks, all from goatheads. The good news is that the volume of the JB greens allowed me to limp back to the house to address the flats there. I've found 'slime' tubes are useful in a goathead laden places.
I'm curious about those Foss tubes too. Here in northern Cal. I don't get 3 flats in 3 months. -JimD On Aug 31, 2011, at 6:41 PM, Jeremy Till wrote: > Had a ride last weekend where I had one flat on the rear from two goatheads. > Pulled over and replaced the tube, went to put the wheel back on the bike > only to notice that my front tire was also going flat from 2 goatheads!
