I took the threads advice and copped a Schwalbe marathon plus for my rear wheel and drat was that thing a bitch to get on. Looks stout as all hell though so hopefully no more flat tires. It rides kinda weird but I'm sure I'll get used to it; after I get out of this urgent care I'm in for ridiculous Achilles' tendon pain gently caress!

gently caress you stupid staple that put two holes in my crazy thick schwalbe tire and slime tube! Rode it home 10 miles because yolo and big shout out to the dude that offered me a ride! I was only about 2 blocks from home but it was nice anyway. Lesson learned: gonna put together a patch kit and carry a pump from now on

After 3 flat tires in three rides that left me more than 12 miles from home each time I finally managed to fix my rear tire in such a way that it made it through the entire 25 mile ride. Started carrying a tube and tire levers in my jersey because gently caress that noise.

numberoneposter posted:i havnt had a flat in 9,122.5 km on my road bike The fact that you use kilometers in your post indicates to me that you may live in a place that actually sweeps the roads and doesn't have a populace that trucks around unsecured loads of old building materials and broken glass. Plus the southwest where I live has a plant called a goathead which is part of the caltrop family of invasive plants that leaves these little 3 pronged spikes of hate everywhere in the spring. The fact that I can get through an entire ride on one tire/tube is actually pretty amazing because the roads I ride on are very, very..............very not good. edit: I might actually stop and take pics of all the crap I try to avoid while riding the roads around here. I've...seen things you people wouldn't believe Arson Daily fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Aug 18, 2020 |

bicievino posted:goatheads are like, one of the best arguments in favor of road tubeless So I'm ignorant about tubeless tires, why would that be the way to go? Wouldn't I still get flats?

Thanks for the tubeless info everyone it was very enlightening. Aside from a tubeless tire what else am I looking at to do the swap? A new wheel?

Can anyone tell me about going tubeless? Can you adapt any wheel to it or do they have to be some kind of tubeless rim?

Next year I want to do a century ride. The most I've ever ridden is about 40 miles in any one go and I'd like to hear what I should be doing to prepare for it. How much water should I take? food? rest? Will my taint hurt?
