Maybe I need to talk to Lynskey about why I am getting so many flats on this bike. This never happened on my Cannondale.
I've had only one flat on my R230, unfortunately on a 40 mile 'old', Michelin Pro3 tire. In Michelin's defense, the road was littered with debris, and probably had not been swept in months. That was a few months ago, and still has not been swept. I avoid this road now. I have not had another flat on the Michelin Pro3 tires and like them a lot.
In response to the derailleur hanger, I have not had to adjust the rear gearing after the flat, or otherwise.
