Answer 1

How about you get better tires. 2 words: Maxxis Hookworm

Answer 2

How about self sealing tubes combined with a puncture resistant tyre liner. That's a pretty dependable combination in my experience.

Edit- The biggest tubes on this board are the make believe cyclists who give good answers thumbs down. If you want good advice about cycling topics go to a genuine cycling forum not a board like this filled with fantasists and bullsh!tters.

Answer 3

Tube.
