I have 38mm nice-ish road tires on the Quickbeam. I have tubes with sealant.
I’ve picked up a number of goatheads, and the sealant sealed the hole when I
picked the thorns off.
If I had further issues, I’d install some tire savers (thorn flickers) in
addition to the Stans in the tubes. I think
I am currently riding Big Apples on my 60cm MIT Atlantis and I can fully
recommend them. I have used lighter tires like Compass, which I love on
other bikes, but the Big Apples seem like a natural fit to me. They're
hefty, but seem to match the feel of the big Atlantis. I assume they are

I really like this name for these type of tires.
I may put Briar Tires on my Hillibike.

big apples might be worth a try. haven’t dealt with goatheads/puncturevine, but
they seem even worse than our greenbriar. I can change a tire fine, just don’t
want to be doing it every week, especially on winter rides through the forests
when it’s cold enough your hands don’t work so well.

I've used only 1 extralight model, but from my experience with thorns, I'd
bet $15 that they won't protect sufficiently for your tastes against
goatheads. Pre-Stan's and Orange Seal, I used Kojaks (35 labeled/32 actual)
on a couple of my road bikes; the puncture belt sufficed to keep goathead

I have thought about tubeless and haven t convinced myself it s worth new rims
and needing to remember to renew sealant occasionally It s flat down here on
the delmarva peninsula and few rocks—we were basically ocean bottom not that

But if i
Why isn't tubeless an option? Haven't got an appropriate wheelset, no
budget for it, just don't like the idea?
I'm not a huge fan of tubeless for most purposes but that's a use case for
which I would certainly consider it. The reason it's so popular in MTB is
that you can run lower pressures fo

If it's an option, tubeless is the best thing since tubes.

roads and trails where I live on the eastern shore of maryland. not real
rough riding, though sandy in patches, BUT we have an eastern native
species, greenbriar (smilax), which is not goathead level in its ability to
