Hello!
I currently have tubes kenda 700x35/42c schrader valve. They go flat really easily it seems. I am not sure what the 42c means.... My pump also has a presta valve attachment. Can anyone suggest a brand/site to order from and if presta is better? 

Thanks!
Chris

Do you mean pinch flats or just losing air slowly?

What pressure are you using?

How often do you reinflate them?

my training consists of commuting to work... I am running at 50psi with my studded tires and 60psi with my regular tires. For my last flat it got a hole when I was changing my rubber over to my studded tires (just had our first snowfall here in wisconsin) not doing anything unusual, just changing it out! Also got a couple flats out of the blue over the summer, nothing stuck in the tire or anything, just went flat. They just dont seem to be very high quality tubes or I just got really unlucky.

Thanks

When you get a flat, it's important to examine the tube to see why. Was there a single puncture? Or a pair of small slices on opposite sides (a pinch flat). This has helped me understand why I get flats and how to avoid them.

I've benefited from Q-Tubes. Or CX Magazine did a pinch flat test and got good results from Continental Tour tubes (heavier and thicker than most).

great! thanks a bunch. Always been single punctures, once with a chunk of metal, twice with nothing found, once was my fault when changing a tire.... Just looking for some tube suggestions because of the no reasons found :)

Thanks!
