Epic and punctures

[tombeej]

Not true, I have used tyre liners for years, and have been practically puncture free, all you need to do is smooth the sharp edge off the join and away you go. I did the epic with tyre liners - only one puncture

 

Then you have never cycled on the KZN north coast.

Amazing that we still have to worry about punctures in the 21st century.But before I switched to tubeless,I ran on tire liners and hardly had any punctures. A minefield of thorns will quickly destroy any tubeless,and fixing tubeless in the middle of nowhere, with a clogged valve is up there with having you teeth pulled with nose pliers.Those who says that it's part of mtb,should try being stuck 30km from the nearest town with no cellphone signal,carrying your bike in the blazing sun.Good times....
