He just knows he was the only one not getting flats on a long two day ride when he actually forgot to pump his tires BOTH days. He says it's been a really long time since he's gotten a flat. Far longer than he's ever gone without one. He used to keep the tire pressure up for speed and was anal about it,
Ha, and all this time I've been utterly convinced that the best way to avoid flats is to top off my tires every time I get ready to ride. I usually pump to within 10 psi of the maximum marked on the tire sidewall.
