Last year I saw a number of people DNF from their race because of "screw" flats. Idea: a dab from a hot glue gun/tube of super glue on the head of each screw to cover up sharp metal edges.

I don't know which of those people were using Mr. Tuffy strips when they got flats but maybe the screws were too far to the sides of the tire for the strips to protect the tube.
