I've recently changed to Maxxis Detonator tires which are a perfect fit for my type of riding and commute, but are notorious for flats because of the very soft compound. Since I'm overweight, I have to run these tires at maximum pressure
(100 psi) which means that any type of slime solution is out of the question, so I'm looking at installing tire liners.
Would this type of setup work, or would I end up having more flat's because of the edges of the liners?
I was Googling Caffelatex and found this nice article which has the pros/con on all tire sealants.

article is seriously amiss without mention of Orange Seal. Orange Seal is leaps and bounds ahead of the other sealant compounds and is rim safe as well.
I've been running it in my tubeless setup and am very pleased; it's already sealed up what would have been 2 significant flats in my tires. Excellent stuff with the right tire/wheel combo.
how much do you weigh? I'm at 205# and am running 28mm 700c @ 70/90 psi front/rear.
