It's to the point now where whenever I walk through my garage for any reason, I squeeze my tires (they hand from the ceiling). This morning, flat rear on the cross bike. I rode it three days ago, and it was inflated well enough last night. At least I don't get blowouts and only have to deal with slow leaks.

Watch, now I'll blow out barreling down a hill. My next post will come from my phone in the ER.

Dude, you know what you just did. There's the timid admission of no flats, then there's balls out defiance of flats :) May you carry many tubes, patch kits and a good pump.

I hadn't had a flat in over 2000 miles this year. Then I read this dumb thread yesterday and had two flats on my ride today. (Same wheel so I obviously missed whatever caused the first flat)

Thanks OP.

My sincerest apologies for giving you my case of botulinum flatsilium.

Always try to determine what caused the flat. Locate the spot on the tire... make sure there isn't a sharp object still in it, and also check your rim strip in that area.

A pinch flat is caused by low pressure... the the tire bottoms out and the tube gets pinched between the rim and the tire. Also called snake bite flats because you will usually see two cuts next to each other.

Haven't had a flat in about 2,000 miles since I switched to gatorskins. Also find that they hold pressure for what seems like weeks.

it is probably the fact that you are riding over the souls of everyone you pass going 18mph...
