Well...both of my flats on Saturday were "snake bite" type pinch flats. We all knew about the carnivorous pothole that ate my rear wheel the first time. The second one had been after hand inflating the first fix. Both times, I'd judge that the tire was a hair underinflated for the load.

Doc's was clearly a staple in a new tire. Rudi's were more mysterious, but the rim strip theory fits the evidence pretty well. His second flat on Friday night might've been a puncture, though...

Another way to look at Saturday's flats is that 75% occurred on bikes from VA. Phil
