... Goat Heads are in your future

Ps...Ya forgot to mention the mesquite thorns I have got all over the place...lol.

We don't have any pokey type vegetation around here or on the logging roads I travel.

I haven't looked at all, do they sell tire liners for fat tires? If so I'd be installing them. Rad bikes seems to be a good company and quality bikes at a decent price.

Tuff liners are the strip ya put in the tire but www.tannusarmor.com is the best liner to use
Rad Power Bikes sells Tannus Armor Liners
I'm gonna get some

They make the tire a little softer but off road bikes Mtn Bike, Fat Tire bikes run low tire pressure anyways

This July I will have had my Rover for 2 years and in 3K miles, 80% of it off road, I have gotten 5 flats,
Slime saved me 4 of those times and got me home but Slime is temp and the tube needs to be patched anyways.
I know when I get a puncture because I'll see a slime wet spot on the tire.
IMO Tannus Armor is gonna be worth it, just to not have to fix a flat

I'm not gonna run Tannus Armor on my Whizzer because it makes the tire too soft

Does my bike count as an "electric assist"? After all it has electric start...

Yep, when ya start the engine it makes it's own electricity for combustion

I ordered Tire Armor liners for Rover
Their massive thick and comes with a smaller tube for instillation.

I've had Rover for almost 2 years and I have had 5 flats, Slime got me home 4 of those times
But with Slime the tube still has to be patched.
Tire Armor is 15mm thick, 2 mm on side walls and will stop just about any flat
4 of my flats were from thorns that went tru the tire about 1/16" One flat was from big azz stick
With tire Armor I won't have to add Slime
I'm excited to have these and hopefully I'll have no more punctures as I ride off road 80% of the time

I'll lay the liners out in the sun so they regain their shape before instillation
