I love the Niner. But what's up with the flats?? I've gone through five or six tubes over the last couple of weeks from getting pinch-flats.

Running the tires at around 40-45 psi feels the best, but produces the most flats. Anything higher than that and I feel like I can't grip on anything. Case and point when I washed out yesterday and found out why full-faced helmets are made.

Any thoughts on this? What are you running?

Thanks....

I usually try to run about 36-38 psi in XR's, ACX's and ExiWolfs when conditions are dry. During the mud season, I run a tad lower (32 - 34). Most all flats that I have come from thorns - and I hate 'em so much, I switch to Slime filled tubes (from Bontrgare) for the thorn season.
