Flat stats

I just sat down to figure out how the math works out.

I bought the new bike on September 16th. I put the new tires (and therefore new tubes) on a week or so later, and was done on the 26th. Today is the 20th of October, which makes it 24 days since September 26th.

In that time, I've had 7 flat tires. I've had an average of one flat every 3.4 days. If you only consider days I've ridden the bike (three days a week for the last 4 weeks, or 12 days), I've had just more than a flat every other day.

I sure hope new rim tape solves the problem.

#7

Yep, flat number 7 occurred on the way into work today. Front tire, with the nick in a suspicious location, about the same spot I saw on a previous flat. I'm developing a theory that I need to replace my rim tape. It's certainly cheap enough. I'm certainly sufficiently tired of flat tires.
