That's the least of his concerns.

I once had a tubular roll off the rim, not because of bad gluing but because I had gone so long without a flat (luck) that the glue aged and lost its stick.

I fractured my collarbone, very painful and a good bit worse than sqirming casing (IMHO).

Don't tell your roomie anything, just be ready with the painkillers.
