...well....at least you feel you've identified the root cause.

Words of advice - because this is probably the most interesting thread around right now *sigh*....

Best thing you could ever do is check your pressure before every ride. You will catch problems before they become issues and you will greatly reduce the number of flats you will end up with.

When you get a flat do some diagnosis to determine the cause. There's only a few ways a tube will flat. They all have telltale marks or ways of identifying the cause. Learn the ways to identify them - I have it all somewhere in my tip of the day thread...http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...tip-of-the-Day

Don't replace a tube until you are reasonably sure you have identified the cause of the flat and eliminated any remaining hazards - replaced rim strip/covered spoke head, removed debris, etc...

If you had done these things the thread wouldn't have occured....so I guess I'm torn....
