Out on a ride with TimmyT and Nlerner on Saturday, in between rain showers, I heard a ffft ffft ffft fffft sound. Tire was flat by the time I'd got off the bike. Major puncture right through the tread of a 650b Grand Bois Hetre. It was threatening to rain, so I put in a new tube and, just to be safe, stuck some cotton tape to the inside of the tire at the puncture. I sure hope I remember to patch the old tube before I ride that bike again!
