    Side Wall Slices from Rocks

    Where I ride there are many loose and embedded rocks. I've suffered slices, especially side wall slices. Since getting a Maxxis Minion II, I've not had one, but recently, got a slice, though the tire still held air. I'm probably going to replace this one with just another Maxxis Minion II...

    Squeaking Breaks while rolling, not braking

    I'm finding lots of info about squeaky brakes when under braking.. but my back wheel is squeaking, I'm pretty sure it's the brakes as when I apply them, the squeaking stops. I start the ride, no squeaking, then as the brakes warm up the wheel will squeak unless I'm applying brake. HERE'S A LINK...

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    I've run tubeless for a long time, and they're pretty good with punctures. But you gotta keep renewing the goop. Not a huge deal, but I forget and with the CushCore, it's REALLY hard to get the stuff in the tire. My problem is rips from rocks. (See the picture in the above thread) I bought a...

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    I notice the Tannus only goes up to 2.5 in the 27.5 size... I suppose it would work with the 2.8 since it's a soft substance. I like the 3.0 on my Haibike

    NuLEVO..Yes, I saw your review and it is greatly appreciated... thanks so much for your reply. Did you install them? If so, what is your level of mechanical competence and how did it go?

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    Thanks again for the help. My tire (now wrecked) is a Maxxis High Roller II 2.75x3.0.... 120 TPI...so that high thread count makes it more vulnerable. (I thought it was the other way around) With that in mind, I'll be looking for LOWER TPI... correct? Below is a picture of the the tire and...

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    The Schwalbe looks interesting.. any opinions on it vs the Maxxis DH (if I can find the right size) as far as puncture/rip resistance? If it wasn't such a nightmare to install, the Tannus Armour System seems to be the most logical PREVENTION system as far as punctures and rips. But the reviews...

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    Hey, thanks again for all the great input... AND, all these recommendations and follow up research has my head spinning. One issue I've run into is that the Maxxis Double Down tires don't seem to come in anything larger than 2.75x2.4 I'd need at least a 2.8 and prefer 3.0. I was looking at the...

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    Thanks for the input. I'm currently tubeless.. but where I ride, can't avoid rocks and stickers unless I just stay home :). Can anyone share experiences with the Tannus Armour. It seems to me that the idea of getting the tube further away from the walls of the tire and adding another layer...

    Flats, punctures and Tears Oh My!

    This is a constant battle for me. I currently using Maxxis tires and an insert that enables me to ride (slowly) without wrecking my rims. But actually SOLVING the problem (if it's even possible) seems the holy grail. I've seen "CushCore" and other such products. I can see how these would...
