I got my first flat today coming in to work...and man did that suck! I was about half way to work when I thought I heard a short hiss, when I looked down to see my back tire was indeed flat. Bogus! So I pulled over and changed it out, which took me about a half hour (rack mount kit...first time changing a flat with this rig, and I found that although adjustable wrenches fit everything, they don't always fit well everyWHERE! So I'm going to toss a couple of axle nut wrenches in with my tools. Good news is I had a spare tube and pump, etc with me. Bad news is after changing it all out I somehow messed up my deraileur a bit....didn't have time to figure it out as I was already going to be late (but was only a couple minutes late). Ah well....it was bound to happen! Whatever I ran over was pretty substantial, as it put a cut almost 1/2" long through my kevlar reinforced tires. I cut a piece off of the old tube and put it between the new tube and the inside of the tire to give some additional protection to the new tube.
