I've been riding a road bike since August. Specialized Allez fitted with Specialized Mondo Comp, 700 x 23c Kevlar bead tires. I've had three flats already. The roads I ride are not particularly rough or debris strewn (city roads or highway - all clean and even pavement), and I'm a petite person. Last flat, the guys helping me out commented how thin the tires were, and since I'm tired of having flats, I decided I want to buy some sturdier tires. They said "buy them online - they're cheaper".
I have no freakin' clue what to buy. I was riding 150 - 200 miles a week, have since pared that down since doing a century in mid-October, but would like to start bumping it back up again.
Suggestions? I don't want to spend a fortune, but at this rate, I'll need to buy tubes by the dozen!!
