Flatted today on the way to work. Clincher. Wished I was using sew ups to decrease the time on the side of the road. Tiny sliver of metal in the center of the tread, rear tire. Heard a noise and noticed a slight bump as I was riding. Didn't loose air until I pulled the sliver out. Good thing I carry a spare tube and have a frame pump, Silca.
Flatted yesterday, only on the Jeep. About a 1/4" rod, part of an OEM car jack crank rod with the hinge, right in the middle of the tire, BFG AT's. Trashed the tie due to the side wall damage too. Second flat on a car in about 40 years.
