Just had a run of punctures myself.
I call for help if I puncture on a ride these days. Didn't used to but decided at 46 that I could permit myself such luxury after youthful years of touring and messengering.
I mend till I have to patch a patch . Which happened on Shabbat as the big patch I had put on a 1/8 inch cut the day before (and ridden 3 hours cross-country on in the meantime) was not enough .
There is something special about a much patched tube (or woman!)
