Maiden you might already do this, but when i ride thru glass I take my foot and drag it on top of the rear tire, then stick my foot down behind the front tire and wipe that off with the top of my shoe. and no ive never had my foot get sucked in. ive never used liners, used kevlar belted before and hated the ride. i so know what you mean though, i changed one yesterday. tell me you use patches?
