After my first flat within a week of buying my bike, I decided not to have any more--I put on thorn-proof tubes and the Mr. Tuffy liner. The salesman says that this sin't foolproof--but he's only had one flat this way in the last four years. A couple of days later I pulled out a quarter inch thorn from the tire--it had probably been there for about seven miles. I also carry a spare tube (normal), a crescent wrench, a screwdriver, and a valve tool in my seatbag. rick
