is there a good tire that will reduce flats in this size? preferrably kevlar, but anything will do. i also plan on using slime and mr tuffy strips. i would rather get no flats, even if i have all this other inertia to fight in the wheel...
Have a look at the Schwalbe Marathon series - I'm running the 1.75 Marathon Plus which seem impenetrable, and roll far better than Armadillo's. They are heavy though - I'm planning on replacing the front with the ordinary kevlar banded version and running the plus on the rear.
