I got 23 flats in 2004 over about 16,500 miles, changing tubes is silly when you can patch a pinhole in a few minutes, most of the time the tire/wheel doesnt even have to come off the bike, just enough tire to get a handful of tube where the leak is.So far in 2005 Ive only had one flat.......probably just jinxed myself with that !!
Pardon my newbie ignorance but how can you tell where the leak is?
P.S. I'm taking a bicyle course in two weeks and one of the things I'll learn is maintenance but I'm commuting 14 miles per day so in the mean time . . . Thanks!
