Oh, I guess I have to mention this one... two weeks ago I did a 200k brevet and my front tire lost a significant amount of pressure around the 40k mark. Right in the city of Phillipsburg NJ, not a nice place to fix a flat. I pumped it up and rode on, figuring I'd patch the tube when I found a warm place protected from the wind, preferably with coffee. But with occasional pumping the tire held for the whole ride. Whew!
edit: it went completely flat after the ride. Puncture of unknown cause, patched 4/20/15.
