We live in CO and we have a preschooler and twin toddlers. We bought these to use in our stroller and bike trailer tires because goat heads have left us stranded away from car and home several times!! We’ve only had them for a few weeks, but so far we’ve had no flats. Can’t wait to try them out more when the weather gets better!

I have the lavender 29er liners. Since I’ve installed them, I haven’t gotten a flat yet. I was getting flats after every ride from those damn star-thistles where I mountain bike. I will admit though, I also installed Slime Tubes at the same time. So I can’t say for certain which one is doing the job, but together there AWESOME!!

Easy to install…just unroll and place inside your tire. This is one of those things that you never know if it works or not, until it doesn’t. So far…no flats. I’m confident that will continue. I like their guarantee..have a flat and they’ll send you a new tube and a new liner. I’d recommend them to any rider.

Don’t expect to never have a flat again. No product has or ever will provide that type of protection. That’s the real world. If you use these, you will get fewer flats.
I ride a lot. Last year I rode 11,000 miles. I split my riding between my daily commute (~50 miles), and century+ rides on the weekend. Daily commuting is done on a mountain bike with commuter tires (non-nobbies, inflated to 90 psi). Weekend rides are on a road bike with Michelin race tires. I use these liners in my commuter bike, and have for a couple of years. I wouldn’t think of going without. I tried them briefly on the road bike, but removed them because of the extra spinning mass and rolling resistance.
- If you care about spinning mass and rolling resistance, these are not for you.
- These don’t protect much of the side of the tire, so you are just about as vulnerable to sidewall punctures as before.
- These will usually (but not 100%) stop glass and thorns.
- They also usually stop metal that cuts rather than punctures. I have had cuts on my tires leaving big holes with the liner clearly visible through the hole. The liner kept the tube from blowing out through the hole, so I could finish my ride.
- They often will not stop sharp metal from puncturing. Of course, I don’t know how many times they did stop puncturing metal, which fell out after a couple of turns of the tire. I only find out about the times they don’t.
Look, they’re inexpensive pieces of plastic, not magic. Expect that they will help, and you will be satisfied.

Three flats in two months. I think that pretty much sums it up. Definitely not worth the money nor the weight. The last flat was a small little piece of wood. If it can’t stop that it surely won’t stop metal or glass. Save your money.
