try the liners tho and the heavy duty tubes ,,you will probubly spend about 40 bones altogether but i was getting flats almost every other day for months and now i havent had one in like 6 months,,,they really work but they do make yr bike a little heavier

peace

thanks man ill try them out i had my tubes put it by the bike shop and i guess i must have been doing something wrong cause the have lasted a good while now (like 2 weeks but thats a while to me. i just saw the tire liners at a shop the other day i think that will be a must have investment for the riding i do

CO2 pump is the way to go, those mini crappy ones suck and it takes forever to get it to inflate. And good luck getting the crappy hand one to even come close to 100psi

Lezyne Floor Drive HPG - I get 100 psi out of a pump that fits easily in a small bag, it's not limping home to a track pump pressure, it is carry on riding pressure!

Looks good two and way easier to use than a tiny hand pump...

I was bored and made this mini pump adaptor to help prevent bending my valves with the small unit.The picture explains it... looks very ropey... but it works....

Get a CO2 cartridge pump--they are cheap (got mine for $15 bucks, on sale), easy to use, small and light enough to carry in a saddle bag and yes, mine actually gets my tires to 110 psi.

That, and a pair of Ultra Gatorskins, keeps me rolling.
