I have had one and only one flat on any of them. The flat was due to a large screw that went into the front tire. I rode for another mile and a half on the way to work before it went flat.
As I say, except for this one my Veloflex have had no flats at all, at all. When I was running Vittorias (both clincher and sew-up) I had plenty of flats.
Veloflex website claims they have a puncture-resistant belt. It appears to work.
I corrected my error above.
Yeah, as I mentioned, my experience with the brand has been really satisfying.
All I want that company to do now is put out a 700x28 or 700x32 clincher at a price point near the Masters.
Down the road they can put out a little wider tubular and I would be very happy.
