Can you tell me about the Specialize Turbo Armadillos? Do they prevent flats more effectively or something?

All with no bike stand either, but at least it got fixed! Sheesh!

I sincerly hope so Koffee ,I just forked out NZ$ 54 . for one for my back wheel
I reckon you could just about ride it flat its so robust. I thought it might be hard to fit but it went on OK. glad you got your wheel back in ok:thumbup: Try setting your back gears on the smallest cog before taking out the wheel, makes it easier to replace , works for me anyway.
