Unbelievable! This is my new personal record. What is the most flats you have ever had in a short period of time?

Flat #1. On my Friday morning commute to work, I run over a piece of glass. I change the tube but in my haste to get to the office for a meeting, I forget to check for debris in the tire.

Flat #2. Occures about 1/4 mile down the road from Flat #1. I find the piece of glass I missed and fix tube with patch kit. I get to work and back home.

Flat #3. Monday night, I pump up the tires to the standard 100 psi. and leave the bike in the foyer ready to ride to work in the morning. About 2 hours later, the tire pops off rim and KA-BOOM! I inspect tire bead but there is no visible damage so I install new tube. I put the bike in the garage fearing another underwear filling explosion in the house.

Flat #4. Tuesday morning I ride to work and when I get off at 5:00, I find that the tire is off the rim again and the tube is obliterated. OK. Probably a bad bead. Needing to get home, I install my last tube.

Flat #5. Occures about 2 miles from the office, tire pops off rim and KA-BOOM! The tube explodes scaring a few pedestrians on the sidewalk. A couple of homies actually run for cover. I call a work collegue for a ride home. Bare wires from the bead are now showing.
