Well, my rear tire got a huge gash on the way home one day in late July, allowing the tube to bulge through. It was a goner. I knew the Kojaks weren't long for this world, but really, 3 months from brand new to blown out?? Pathetic.

I've been running the new Brompton tires for exactly one month and got my first flat yesterday in the middle of a downpour, again on the front tire. I couldn't find the culprit in the driving rain, but I'm guessing glass. Sigh.

I guess I'll look into replacing the rim tape and maybe get some tire liners, though the guys at my LBS swear that they're no good on a Brompton, and my partner had poor luck with hers.
