And I thought I had bad liuck with flats! Don't feel too bad, it happens. I have had to retire high quality tires due to battle damage. I have been taught by the nature of my commute to use kevlar belted tires, Mr Tuffy tirel liners. spare inner tubes a small pump and CO2.

The small pump gets the new tube started and bead seated. CO2 brings it up to ride-able pressure. I can now even carry a spare tire. I have 4 Pasela TGs that have various degrees of damage. All could be used in a pinch. One has a flat spot because it ate an old pannier and locked up the wheel at speed.

Keep some new tubes handy. Save the older foldable tires. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
