How do I stop punctures in my bike tubesHARDMODE: No Tannis Armor
>>2977001Get balls of steel and solid rubber wheels.
Schwalbe marathon.
>>2977001Consider tubless with sealant in your tyres. Personally I used to get punctures all the time, but my tyre was wearing pretty thin so I swapped it out for another I had lying about and I haven't had a puncture since.For a portable puncture repair kit I recommend having both adhesive patches (they never last but are good short-term) and rubber patches with cement. Instead of the shitty aluminium tubes of cement that evaporate after a year, buy a big tub of the stuff and use it to fill up some glass nail-polish bottles, the ones with brushes in the lid. They're perfect little containers for applying cement to your patches. You should get practiced enough that you can patch a puncture in 5 minutes with a self-adhesive and be back on the road.

>>2977001Pic related did work for me but partly I think because inner tube construction has just got pathetic plus I'm cheap and always buy cheapest. My punctures are typically tiny natural prickles so I used to do quite well with glue and tiny patches.
>>2977001Replace them with tweels.
>>2977001Get solid rubber tires.
i would say nintol tires, but it seems their bicycle prototype is nothing more than that, prioritizing extra terrestrial contracts.
>>2977001 an ad, here, really ?
>>2977555OP here, I said that because that seems to be the most common response, and they do look good, but they don't make it for my bike's size.
>>2977526Sounds good. Do you think putting two layers would make it stronger?
>>2977001get double-sided tape, the moderately thick rubbery kind and not foamy or flat kind, and put it on the inside of the tire, all arounddon't peel off the outer side, keep it on, you don't need to glue it to anything but the tireguranteed puncture protection
>>2977590You get friction issues. And if something can penetrate one it can probably penetrate two.Personally, I go with seallant in tubes. Less mess and fuss than tubeless.
