I've had a rough few months with flats from goatheads, after no flats for over a year. They squeak in though the sidewall of the Supremes. I just put on a pair of Foss, rim liners and all, not for flat protection, but ease of patching. I retired several well patched tubes and carry no spare. I will soon see how well that works. In 10 years I hope to have two well patched Foss tubes.
