tubeless tires, orange seal and goathead strategies
Those who live in the Southwest US have become aware of the goat head or puncture vine. For those not blessed with these, the seeds, which look like tiny goat heads, have 2 thorns (horns) which always seem to point up. They are long enough to penetrate most tires, if not all, and thrive on dry ground next to bike paths. Since fixing a Brompton is a bit involved, especially the rear tire, I was wondering if any one has developed a reliable strategy for these? I have heard that tubeless tires with Stan sealant or Orange Seal work really well, at least on mtn bikes. Does anyone have first hand experience with these solutions?
