MAVIC UST (Use Standard Tubes!)
Wold Ranger":rzf98fo6 said:I just use Latex and don't have a problem, just pull the thorns out after each ride. They puncture the tyre but not the tube.

Let me just say that if latex tubes stop thorn punctures I would use them, but how can they? Could you explain to me how a soft tube doesn't puncture after a tyre is penetrated by a thorn without resorting to daft digs at me if you can do that? OK latex can deform, but surely not enough against a needle-like sharp object such as a thorn eh?
As I've already said I'd use anything for a puncture free ride, currently at the expense of using higher pressures (40 PSIG) in conjunction with a tubeless conversion.
