When flat tires start to happen they come in fits.. Today's ride. Stopped at the post office in mid commute.. The front tire did a fast noiseless poof. Riding on rims.. Changed the tube.. It had 5 small pin holes in it.. I was not off the road but all caused by thistles.. Can not recall being off the road with my road bike..
Had kevlar lined Vittoria Rubinos.. As approaching home, the back tire went flat. one thistle caused hole.. earlier had not felt any thistles in back tire before I left. I hate flats.
Got home and changed tires-probably had 2000- 3000 miles on them. changed them out to Specialized Armadillos..
Riding without any hassles sure makes for a great day..
