There was a time in Tucson a few years back when I got 6 flats in one week. Went and bought some 2 lb. "Resistant" tubes and only got three flats the next month.
There are more than goats head plotting our demise.
I then got some liners.
Yeah they still make the tire much heavier, but they are still on one of my bikes tires. I never got a flat after that. About $8 per tire at the time retail.
Can't remember the name but there are a few brands. The gatorbacks on my touring bike are still lined.
Just look up tire liners on eBay or some bike shops in Goat Head country stock them.
