I had a wickedly bad stretch of flats a few years ago. I was getting punctures, pinch flats, rim strip issues, defective valves, you name it. I don't even want to talk about it for fear of angering the flat tire gods again. But it appears that I served my penance and my luck has improved. I don't think I've had more than a dozen flats this year. Knock on wood.
We've been married 21 years and I have yet to call my wife to come pick me up from a ride. I'm sure she wouldn't mind, but I'd rather get home a little late with dirty hands than to call the sag wagon. Again, knock on wood.
