Question about bike tires?

Every cyclist should be prepared for a flat tire whether you are on a mountain bike with knobby tires or a Colnago with 700x19 190 gram tires. I carry a frame pump, two spare tubes in a zip-loc bag with baby powder, a patch kit, and three tire irons. On our tandem for longer rides I carry all the above plus a spare folding tire. It is amazing what will puncture a tire and tube. Thorns lead the way in parts of the country. I have used Kevlar lined tires with good success.

Flats are inevitable no matter if you have a $60 bike or a $6000 bike.. Tire liners will help, but nothing completely eliminates flats. I didn't have good luck with the self-sealing tubes, though. I never go on a ride (long or short) without a patch kit, spare tubes and a pump.

Thorns are a problem in some parts of the country. In the Chicago suburbs, broken glass is the major issue. Flats are a fact of life for cyclists. Everyone who rides more than a few hundred miles a year carries a patch kit and pump (or CO2 inflator). I usually carry a spare tube as well. Of course I ride a lot and could easily be 40 or 50 miles from home when a tire goes down. Some other things you can do: 1. Thorn resistant innertubes (they're thicker than the usual) 2. Kevlar tire liners 3. Inspect your tires before every ride. Little pieces of glass or stone get embedded in a tire, but take a while to work their way through. You can prevent a lot of flats by catching this before the foreign object gets through to the tube. 4. Over time, tires accumulate cuts and gouges. When you notice some that are through to the cords, its time to replace the tire. Once this happens, the tires easily pick up debris and you'll start getting flats often. Forget the goop inside the tire. It'll work for a little while on small punctures, but before long, it also clogs the valve preventing you from pumping up the tire. Someone mentioned tubeless. I haven't used them, so I can't say, but its possible those might be more flat-resistant. They're expensive, though.

you can buy goo to go inside you tire which will stop leaks however this is only a temporary thing until you get home and then you have to replace it anyway, the best thing to do is get a good tire like a maxxis highroller which can be used for dh riding so they are fair thick, also get a DH tube inside you tire they are alot thicker than regular tubes, they do cost a little more but are worth it. if you want you can get tubeless tires which are made to be able to use no tubes therefore they are very strong and then you can still put a tube inside, so if you get a tubeless tire with a DH tube inside you can be quiet confident the tires wont go down, however all bikes will get flats its jsut unlucky but you can prevent it from happening by having a good tire and tube. also carry a spare tube, repair kit and a pump when u ride the trails. cheers

You have found the major problem with cycling, you soon get used to repairing them, you should be able to do it in a couple of minutes. But, to help make them a little less common, fit puncture protected tyres like the Schwalbe hardliner etc, and self sealing inner tubes, but even this isn,t 100% so carry tools and a spare tube.

go back to the place where you got the bike and see if they sell stronger tires
