Yep. My main fear was, not finding the leak or cause that I was missing a wire or tiny glass in the tire and would flat again on the way home. Which with the rain, leaves and sticks everywhere, after working late and my headlight battery dying and having forgotten my helmet and extra co2 it seemed like tempting fate. But it held up and with my new Forte Strada-k now on it all is well (good cheap tire).
