Flat tires

[Nvreloader]

I run 8> 10 oz of Flat Out in both of my fat tire bikes, (4" & 4.8") and OEM thin tires and have over 3200+ miles on my main bike with NO FLATS, since using Flat Out, with a Blue Billion goat heads plus other sharp pointy rocks etc.

By the way those fine thin wires come from steel belted tires that have been ridden flat until they begin to disintegrate.

Interesting! Never would've thought of that source.

Interesting! Never would've thought of that source.

I wouldn't have thought to use a cotton ball to find them.
I gotta remember that.

I remember finding one when it sliced the tip of my finger.
(I think that wire was from my wire brush drill attachment?)

I used to get endless flats on a hub drive running tubed 24x3 , even tube creep rips.

I was wondering about tube creep rips.

Does the tire creeping on the rim cause the rip in the tube, or can the tube rip without the tire creeping?

And, I put Copious amounts of talc on the inside of my tire, and all over my innertube when I installed my tires and tubes.
Can that reduce or eliminate tube creep?

I used to get squeaky tubes on my other fattie, talcum powder cured it
