I am on my 10th flat tire this year, half of them have been pothole/curb lip punch flats, the other half were thorns and metal punctures, but in my frustration to get some of these flats changed, I have bent up my derailed and fender a bit, thays my fault for but the wight of the bike and impossibility to balance it upside down hasn’t helped.

The rim to tire ratio is bad if you weigh over 200 lbs, or try a quick maneuver that puts any force into the back tire.

The bike also center of gravity pretty high and over the handlebars making quick maneuvers seem a little risky for balance of going over the bars, this hasnt happened to me and it is indicative of cruiser style bikes, but combine that with a rear tire that wants to fold over and it doesn’t make for a great experience if you are avoiding a hazard.

Owned for about a year and riden 400 miles, but it would be double that if not for so many flat tires.
