        Gempler's Tire Guards

         

        Actually, shouldn't they be called tube guards? They don't really guard the tire at all. I'm just sayin'… hmmm

          You have a good point Bob. I'm sure I'll be picking up just as many thorns in my tires after I put them in. Doesn't look like too many folks have used these so, I'm going to order a couple and give them a try. When I fix the flats the thorns are never over 1/2″ inside the tire so I think the added thickness of the Tube Guard will prevent 95% of my flats. I'll let everyone know how they work. Thanks.

            They seem awful expensive and they are only a rubber shield that will still be penetrated.

            I think your money would be best spent foam filling your tires. You will never have a flat again.

              As an afterthought, wouldn't Kevlar be a better choice than rubber?
