bombproof tubes?
well i am going with some armadillo slicks for the streets, but wanted to match them with some reliable puncture resistant tubes. i want to stay away from the slime stuff. anyone use the michelin air+ tubes? i am a little leery after reading so many negative reports on the tires as of late...

I only get flats from the belts on my tires busting and poking the tube. I've NEVER had these tubes go down during a ride.
