Last year a friend was in a break of 3 at mile 50 with 2 minutes on the field and flatted. He was carrying a tube. He changed it fast enough to catch the end of the peloton as they went by.
Thats impressive.
I'm running 23mm wheels/23mm tires and thinking I could probably get away with a little lower pressure and still not get any pinch flats.
Do you guys run same pressure as road then to keep the pinch flats away? Anyone running 23mm wheels?
