Yeah, I learned NOT to overtighten and what happens when you do! At least nothing happened while I was riding it (although I did get a flat today!)... I noticed today that the freaking rim strip wasn't covering one of the spoke holes and the tube just popped during my ride today... I suspected something fishy because it's the 2nd flat in a week and I have Armadillos.

I never checked the rim tape before today... but there was nothing in my tire!
