I have run Conti Top Touring 2000's for 2 years now. Giant Mtn bike, 12 mi/day over the beer bottle shard collection someone seems to have going on the side of the road. I have slime tire liners (the solid strip) and gator skins. I have tried slime tubes and they feel like running through sirup (sp?). I have had 3 flats. I went to Chin Shengs for two days, had flats both days. Went back to the Conti's for a year. The Conti's have big gashes missing (actually only the back, front looks good) and the sidewalls are cracking some.

I have read some of the forums on airless and other. I looked at the Schwalbe's but $30 a tire is too high for me to gamble with. I am pretty sure I am going back with Continental Town and Country. There are some others that may be better but the T&C had the 26x2.1 I was looking for. MY bike shopo guy says the Conti's all have the year guarantee and if you use the Conti tube with a Conti tire they will replace the tire. I crank up the pressure to 65psi or so even though they say 50psi or whatever it is.

I tried the $8 light slime tube. The only thing it did was show me where the 2 pin holes were. Curious that they were pin holes, it is usually a gash, oh well... Slime claims to seal up to 1/8" but I have yet to see it.

Goop seem to work well in sealing flats, but you have to sandpaper the tube first.

So where is the post on bike mounted EMP's? And where can I buy a huge extension to stick on my birdie finger? I am having trouble getting blokes to pull over so I can give them what for after they sideswipe me...
