[QUOTE=rumrunn6;20624054]I need more flats so I get better at this myself, hahahaha only kidding. I need more bikes & more seasonal tire swapping, yeah that would teach me better ... actually sometimes I'm fast at it & sometimes not so much

Same here regarding practice and that's the thing ... knock on wood, I rarely get flats (this was the fifth season - around 4,000 miles - with the stock tires and my first flat with this bike). I try to prioritize puncture resistance in my tires and replace them before they're extremely worn. The last few flats I've gotten on this and my other, primary, road bike have been from the stem vs. going over nails/glass/etc .... thinking now I should maybe change tubes more proactively.
