An anecdote from some bay area riding. Yesterday I rode with three friends through Vallejo & Napa (picture at <http://bit.ly/2rA7m9>). Nice bikes: an Atlantis, Quickbeam, my recently finished 650B Sequoia, and a 90's Novara Randonee.
We hit a small but thick patch of goatheads and: - Will's Atlantis has Jack Browns and only had 1 puncture. - Devin's Quickbeam has Schwalbe Marathon Supremes (40mm) and both his tubes had a few punctures. - My Sequoia has Grand Bois Hetres and both tubes had a bunch of punctures (5-10 punctures each). - Both of the Randonee's wheels suffered a few punctures each. All tires fell victim (even the Marathon Supremes). Be very careful of the goatheads. -nathan On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 7:44 PM, Mike <mjawn...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Go with some Schwalbes, the big heavy ones Riv sells.
