No flats for the last year and one the year prior. I switched to tubulars using the Tufo stuff and my flats dropped by a factor of 6 to 8. I also find that changing a tubular is easier and faster than changing a clincher. I wish I had done this years ago.

I may be getting punctures (don't thinks so, but maybe) but the goop in the tire takes care of it. I wondering now if running tubeless clinchers would do the same thing. But, what did worry me, was getting a flat when moving fast and worrying about the clincher coming off the rim.

Either way, I used to average about 6 flats a year. Not I get one - maybe. Usually I wind up replacing the tire from wear first.
