You couldn't "boot" it with a dollar or a gu pack? That's what got me home the end of last summer. The gu had oozed through the tire by the time we got home, but we got there. (I'm not sure it qualified as "blown," though.)
I don't think they have Kevlar but the Continental Ultra 2000 has been my fave tire and I think they're going away (Why?????) - hmm... I should probably check the stock in my local LBSes, though that's one thing I tend to get on-sale-online if I don't need it right away (like when the sidewall gives...) Thanks for the info. I don't think a lighter tire will make much difference on a 45 pound bike - except that it is the part that counts, that rolling resistance.
