Be glad you didn't flat an expensive Challenge Parigi-Roubaix tubular like I did last night. I plan to bust out the needle & thread tonight while watching a baseball game. It was my first flat in about 2,500 miles, so I can't complain. Although repairing tubulars can be a hassle, I find I get fewer flats than on clinchers--no pinch flats, no basetape issues, no tube installation snafus.
