Of course, you are apparently riding a lot in a city environment with broken glass lying about. <br /> <br />I checked my ride log for last year. 2 flats. <br /> <br />The first, July-14, was due to riding a rear tyre approx 4140 miles (Vittoria Zaffiro Pro - a reasonably supple tyre), thread BARE combined with WAY too much pea gravel on a recently chip-sealed road. <br /> <br />The second, approx 832 miles after the first, was the very used spare that I used mid-ride to replace the above trashed tyre. I don't know the total miles that used spare had on it when it developed two bumps/holes thru the rubber down to the threads -- I reckon I rode over a couple unseen pebbles. Tyre didn't actually flat because the repeated bump-bump alerted me. <br /> <br />So, only one actual flat last year in 4537 milee. My recollection is that no one I was riding with, or came across, had a flat. I do know that my friend Lynn, (RUSA #5519) had one flat while riding and another magically appeared while she was home. Don't know her total mileage, but it was likely more than mine (because she doesn't wimp out of rides due to being "tired"). <br /> <br />Road conditions where I ride, almost nothing in the city, are generally very good.<br /> <br />skiffrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627376178648891371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3064468132388413081.post-11198512156100807022018-12-31T17:32:09.012-08:002018-12-31T17:32:09.012-08:00I remember the flat you fixed about a dozen years ...I remember the flat you fixed about a dozen years ago and you licked the tube to find the leak.
