my wife is going thru tubes like crazy lately, and we're both wondering if some bombproof tires would be a big part of the fix.
I try to get her to check her pressure regularly to minimize pinch flat occurrence from under-inflation, but her habit is to basically hop on and ride and not deal with maintenance 'til she gets a flat.
that's where I come in. heh!
anyhoo...I think what we need is to get her 2 beefy knobbly tires, the kind that makes a gravel road cry its eyes out when the tire goes past because it's so tough and invincible. something year in year out, summer, snow, ice, rain, mud, slush, etc.
basically: an everyday workin' tire that can deal with a bit of low pressure, but also tough enough to survive gravel paths and the hazards that are there, like metal, glass and other detritus.
any suggestions?
thank you!
