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.

thanks for the above link, I went further after going to that site and found this article, cant wait for part 2 ( not yet published) part 1 was only done yesterday (1/25)

when part 2 comes out, I might rethink my opinion on sealants
