what the hell!? 3 flats since friday afternoon? one of them happened over night while my bike's hanging on a hook in the basement? i think i've narrowed it down to rim tape. if changing that doesn't work i think i'll throw a temper-tantrum.

"overweening"? that's a new one.
I have a keirin-berlin sticker that I got through the spoke-card secret santa this past holidays. The guy that sent me a card lives in Berlin. I can't remember his name though.
Jeremy: I got a flat while my bike was sitting in my office last fall. I was in a meeting and on my way back to my desk 3 or 4 people said "hey wes, you got a flat". Pretty funny. Apparently it was a sudden blow-out type deal with a popping sound and then a WHOOSH. Everyone in my section of the office heard it.

As for wacky tubes, I bought a few spares at Urbane a while ago and just used one for the first time a couple weeks ago. The stems are smooth! Once I started getting them up to "operating pressure" the head of my pump kept flying off! What's up with that?

Speaking of flats-every time I do the donut ride I get a flat. I'm 3 for 3 now-all glass. Maybe my bike is trying to tell me something. To be honest, sometimes I like it, gives me a chance to ride alone for a while and check out the scenery, instead of a 100's of lycra clad a$$es.

There's a "tall bike" like contraption locked onto the same post as my bike in front of my office right now. Pretty rad. I think I might print one of those "your bike is hot" things and stuff it in his/her spokes..
