My point being - I've been carrying around a repair set and pump for years and never used it once. I've never ever had a flat out on a ride.
The tires are Kenda Qwiks with Mavic deep dish rims. I weigh around 155 and don't carry much. The tires have never been off the rims and are only now looking worn enough to think about replacing.

Am I just really lucky or has anyone else had a run like this?
