I just turn my bike upside down. Sure, my DuraAce shifters get scraped a bit. Big deal. They become a few micrograms lighter that way, right?

There is no need to take the wheel off at all an 99% of flats.
Pop the bead off one side and sneak the tube out while it is on the bike.
Unless the highly unlikely event the tube is shredded, there is no
need to pull the rim at all.

I like to treat my bikes with such kindness. By elevating it on a low lying tree branch, my bikes pulley cage does not get all in a twist. And the wheel(rear) just falls off, when you release the quick releases.
