I'm running 2 month old Ares and I'm going to ride them until the tubes are showing! I am so careful to check the inside of the tire now and also drag the tire with my foot, but these bits are so dang small. My bike setup will stay the same through the year, but in summer I just get so many flats. My guess is all the people drinking outside getting rowdy and smashing bottles more.
Also i'm looking for a hand pump to go in my bag. Needs to go to 120psi without killing myself. Anybody have any recommendations?
