I used one for the first time Thursday - I had a tube with me but I didn't quite fill the new tube with enough air (probably 80-90 PSI)

.....15 miles later I hit a pothole and got snake bit

Patched the original flat with the Park Super patch, then stopped by a local bike store to buy a tube (just in case today was Murphy's day) and to pump the tire up to 120.
