Yesterday I had my first flat. I wasn't even riding. I had the bike sitting next to my desk and about 20min before the end of the work day... "Pop... whizzzzzzz" and that was it. After breaking down the wheel I found the spot easy enough on the tube, but the tape on the wheel itself wasn't moved or anything. I'm going to get some new tape and fix up both wheels. It seems though that some kind of rubber nub or something in each of the spoke holes would keep this from happening. But I'll just get the new rim tape and be done with it.
I wondered when this would happen. I knew from all the advice here to get new rim tape... but just hadn't got around to it.
I'll probably just order online and go ahead and get that crank tool while I'm at it. I want to beable to do just about anything I want to this bike.
