yeah. and for me, it depends where i ride and my ability to dodge debris.

years ago, i used to get non-debris related flats, but then i figured out what tire works best for me (pasela) and how best to mount and inflate it.

then i realized that if i were to ride through the industrial section of town, through which all the big rigs roll, throwing their metal shards all over the road, i shouldn't really complain about the occasional flat.
