Do you ride the same route regularly, ie commute? there was some very fine glass on a bit of the cycle path a while back that i kept finding. It would just slice the tyre open then get bedded in to the tread and eventually result in a puncture. At a guess I'd say its something similar happening to you, when cars hit each other and headlights crack they just brush the debris to the side of the road....

I don't get this. You're using a tyre liner, and not riding in the grit infested gutter,and you're still puncturing every 100 or so miles? On the contact patch? Wtf is getting through the tyre *and* the liner, besides drywall screws?

I ride Pro4 Races with no liners, and those v light (read: thin) Conti inners on the commute and get a fraction of that number.

I'm really struggling to work out what can get through a tyre and a liner and yet not be found. I wonder whether you've got some shards of something on the liner that are doing a slow number working their way into the inner tube - perhaps try removing It and washing it.

I wouldn't think your weight is an issue (all right. Not this issue) unless you were flatting as you hit holes in the road - ie pinch flats.

Puzzling.
