Yesterday I got a razor blade tip in my rear hub wheel, and today it was a nail. I use a Schwable Marathon tire and tire liner.
I've been thinking about why punctures happen as often as they do. It's not like razor blades and nails are sitting straight up on the road. I believe it's because the front tire kicks up the object. With this in mind, maybe some type of guard could be installed in front of the rear tire? The challenge is making it so it doesn't get hit when riding over less even terrain. Maybe even something like a paintbrush would work.
Thoughts?
