Baby powder in tires? Have you tried this?
I just got a flat from a big drop, and this has happened a bunch of times before. Someone at a local former uni shop recommended I put a dusting of baby powder (talc) in with the tube / tire to prevent this. In researching it a lot of people say it's unnecessary / doesn't actually help, but it seems like these people are talking about general riding rather than the more high impact street stuff a lot of us are into. Do any of you do this when you install a new tube? Have you tried this? Do you notice if it helps? Makes any difference at all? I'm curious, I'm probably going to try it this time regardless but, hearing your perspectives would help me decide if this is something to do every time or not.
