    This is so educational. Without this board, I would have bought a new tube and called it a day. OK, Oakleaf. What do you think? It is a double puncture, almost like a snake bite! I ran over something and heard a "pop." After checking my tire, I have 2 small cuts--but they don't seem to correspond to where the tube would have been cut.

    DH already put a spare wheel and tire on my bike for tomorrow's ride. How often do you change your tires? Yearly?
