I have them on my road, utility, and cross bike and haven't had a flat for a very long time. Make sure you get the right size for your tire by comparing them side by side if you decide to get them. Also with liners on they make a good added cushion effect to a flat especially when bombing down a hill at 40mph; I know first hand. And besides I dislike buying countless replacement tubes and patches, trust me.
seconded. I'm using liners on every bike I ride + my gfs. ALthough this rubber cement business is new to me. will have to try it.
