Other brands you guys have had good luck with lately?? I
also tried a set of tufo S3 lites with the sealant....got a
flat after 5 rides.. Thx!

I've been using Tufo S3 Lite (215g) for all purpose training, and I've had excellent luck with them. I don't know what caused your flat, but next time use the sealant *after* you have the flat. I carry one of those tiny valve tools and a small tube of sealant in one of my jersey pockets. I haven't needed it yet.

Nope, I use Sprinters on the rear exclusively and get few
flats, maybe one, two per year. Perhaps ya ought to learn to
repair them, not hard at all. Seam ripper, patches, fat
needle, thimble, waxed dental floss.

Comps are going to offer marginally more flat protection
than Sprinters. They have an extra belt under the tread.

For training, I'd ride the S22s (250g)... IF you flat,
you're out $20 not $80.

HTH,
