This is really going to anger certain anons, and they know who they are, but the truth is if you want to enjoy the ride then you're going to have to risk punctures, in other words heavy armour plated tyres ride like shit, the best solution I found, and pay attention to this because it's fucking gold, I spent years playing around with various combinations of tyres and tubes before I found the ultimate balance between puncture resistance and ride quality - Schwalbe Kojaks with Maxxis Flyweight tubes, I have been using this combination for my daily commute, which takes me on 5 miles of dreadful roads, a couple of miles of gravel track and then a mile of shitty industrial estate roads, in other words thorns, broken glass and other shit literally everywhere and I only had 2 punctures in the past 3 years. That's about 14 miles cycling 5 days a week for over 160 weeks and the bike is as light and as nimble as a 14 year old Russian gymnast, two fucking punctures, yeah, I'll take them odds all day long.
You can do what you want with this info, frankly I don't fucking care what you do, I'm just telling you that this is the best fucking option I found after years of experimentation, the bike feels amazing, this set up is like 1/3 of the weight of a Memethon supreme plus normal tube set up.
