I was using some really skinny slicks for my mountain bike but the back tubes wont stop popping. I have a feeling it's because of all the bumps on my way to work. I have to leave the road a few times and go across some grass, gravel, and a ton of potholes.

I don't have the money to keep buying tubes every single day so I put my old mountain bike tire on the back, and kept the slick on the front because it has yet to pop.

What can I expect when riding my bike like this? I know I'll probably experience loss of speed but what else?
