Appreciate all the good information! Thanks!
Albuquerque is pretty much ground zero for goat heads lol, We have tried just about everything, Slime, stans, Mr tuffy liners, tannus armor. This rubber strip I selected is 1/4 inch thick and 4 inches wide, comes in 20 foot rolls for about 60 bucks. It molded very nicely inside between the tube and the tire. The ride was smooth. The project is still in the works, but so far so good. For example, a flat repair on an ebike cost 25 for the tube, and like 25 labor, slime is extra 5 bucks. The rubber strip if it turns out to work would save a lot of repair cost. Will keep ya all posted!
Cheers!
This is the search criteria for the Rubber:
Neoprene Rubber Strip.250" (1/4") Thick x 4" Wide x 20' Long - Commercial Grade 65A, Smooth Finish, Solid Rubber
If you want an idea of the flat issues, look up goat heads vs bike tires in New Mexico, then look at images.
