Long valve, extra long valve, extra light, latex, heavy duty training...
Actually, the last flat I had was at the Air Force Academy road race. I then went all winter long without, then boom, three in a row, plus one. Knock on wood, I think I'm good for another while.

I gotta hand it to the people out riding and running in the heat wearing masks. Holy smoke, that must be hard. Friend of mine turtled his sport boat in a race last week and wondered why he got so exhausted swimming back and righting it. Mask.

I have way more than that.
But, ls01, just use the adhesive tape like Stan's, and as wide as the whole rim bed. It doesn't matter if tubeless-compatible or not; that's the best way to avoid the strip moving over.

I'm coming to the hive mind for a solution to my problem.
New wheels are tubless compatible. This morning I punctured 6 tubes trying to mount new conti 40000's on them. I also noticed the rim strip is not helping things, it slides over and reveals spoke holes,, then pop. Another flat.
Am I loosing my mind? I've never had problems like this mounting tires before.
