>>1313509FACT: All bicycle tires/tubes are susceptible to punctures. Nothing will 'prevent' it, you can only reduce the risk: thicker tubes, barriers that go between the tire and the tube, sealant in the tube itself.
Bicycle tires are *thin*; therefore they get punctured easily.
If you make them thick, then the bike handles like shit.
If you make the rubber *hard*, then the bike handles like shit and has shitty traction.
If you put too tough a barrier between the tire and the tube, you negatively affect the handling of the bike.
Want to minimize flats? You have to pay attention when you're riding and avoid things that will puncture your tires.
If you ride 'offroad' all the time you're more likely to get punctures from thorns.
This is the reality of riding a bike all the time.
