anyway, i switched to continental tubes and after that i haven't had a flat in 8 months!(my streak broke 2 weeks ago when those stupid iron "patch-me-up" construction plates on the road gave me two flats, put some orange paint or a cone f*ckheads !!!). this is my belief, my superstition. i only ride continental tubes.

SHORT ANSWER: try changing the brand of your tube?
No the short answer is learn how to inflate your tire and buy proper tube sizes.
