@chas58, I'm with @cyccommute. Pinch flats come from doing something wrong. Most likely, I think it's insufficient pressure. Riding technique weighs into it. I don't buy that having inner tubes leads to pinch flats. I just don't consider them inevitable. I haven't had one in decades. It's possible that you hit bumps that no one should ride over, but I doubt that.
