Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The easiest way to get a thicker tube is to buy the largest tube that fits. More specifically one that when filled fills the tire without stretching much.

I don't think it makes enough difference to prevent punctures, but it reduces the need to pump as often, and seems to prevent the type of flat caused arrow and deep rims.
