[QUOTE=Doge;19145976]Right. I responded to the OP.
I realized, but a flat tire is a stop tire, and is not a fast tire at all. Therefore the fact that a ride could not be completed without a flat is relevant.

I tried those. Absolute flat magnet with or without latex tubes.Gave up on them when I couldn't get through a ride without a flat, and the tires got so loose from repeated removal and mountings, that I didn't trust them to stay on the rims.
Side note, they also stank like hell when I got them. Had to hang them up to air out for 2 or 3 weeks. Not sure if it was the rubber or old acred cigarette smoke, or both. Was AWFUL though.

I've had the same experience with them. If you keep having flats, you ain't going "fast." Makes sense to me.
