I have had thorn flats out there, so that would not surprise me...........but as has been said, run you fingers around the inside of the tire, go slow so you don't rip your finger open should you find something.

I have also found barbed wire working it's way up into the trail surface on JackRabbit. Remember this is an old strip mine so there is likely many hidden treasures out there that could potentially cause flats.

How could you go wrong with a product called Stan's.

It gets old and slow then doesn't want to work any more. Plus your tires start to smell like moth balls.

I know... that bike deserved better, but noone wanted to buy it, so I did what I had to do.

It makes it so your tires only know how to turn left.
