What’s the best way to avoid flat bike tires from glass?
I have a bike that i take to work. I live in and work in an industrial neighborhood where most streets are covered in glass shards that the city never sweeps up. I rode my bike for 3 weeks and the tires are flat again. Are there any products, advice, good brands of tires or tubes that will cut down or eliminate this problem for me? Thanks.
Best way? Don’t ride through glass, especially when it’s wet.
If you can’t avoid that, you’ll have to deal with heavier (and more expensive) tires. There are tires out there with anti-puncture systems. For me, what works quite well during winter (where we don’t have glass, but small stones that are used instead or together with salt to combat ice and snow on the road) are heavy spike tires (Continental or Nokian). Disadvantage: a lot of rolling resistance and loud. Similarly build knobbly off-road tires might work equally well (together with on-road tire pressure, go to the max the tire will support, should be at least 5 bar/70 psi).
Puncture-proof tires (Schwalbe, Continental) may have less rolling resistance, but will often have a similar weight (or very high price…)
