First flat in over 9000 miles today. I've been experimenting with Panaracer Pasela TG (700x32c) tires on my Carpe Diem, and they still have a lot to recommend them. Besides being light and fast, I can get them on and off the rims (Mavic 519 touring rims) without using tools. Good thing, too.

The shard of glass that punctured the tire -- right in the center of the tread -- would probably have bounced right off my old Conti TopTouring 2000's. So I dunno; one flat isn't much of a sample, but it's still one more than I ever had with the Conti's.

I was glad I had my Topeak Road Morph, too; really easy to get back to full pressure after the repair.

Beautiful day in Philadelphia today. Made up for having to work on Saturday.
