One ride with a friend, he had a flat.
Counted the patches in his tire. He had 35 tire patches.
I carry 3/5 spare tubes and a spare tire.
How do you patch cuts? Are these the little ones that I see all over the surface of the tire or ones that go through to the tube? My current tires (Schwalbe One) have a lot of little cuts but so far no issues. They have about 1,300 miles so far. Plenty of tread left but worried the cuts could lead to issues but I see no practical way to do anything about them. I have some new ones I'm going to put on before some organized rides this month just to be safe.
