What a commute. In two days I have had two flats. So....instead of just changing out the tube and running with it, I used the patch kit. While the sealant was drying I checked out my tire. Lo and behold....a rock was wedged in the tire at the exact spot of the puncture (glad I am anal about how I position the stem and the tire name). Overall...successful patch and fix.

However, when getting the tire back on, I noticed a spoke just hanging there loose. Man....flat AND a broken spoke. Glad I have 36 spokes on the rear. So...I just removed it and plan to get it replaced tonight.

Other than that...the rest of my 13 mile commute was awesome! Rain this afternoon....but at least I found the culprit that was caused the last two flats.

Note to self....ALWAYS check the tire both inside and out (as well as the rim). I should knw this as I am almost celebrating 2 years of commuting! But....haste has made tube waste for me these last two times.
