I got my first flat — luckily it happened just as I was leaving the house. I thought getting the tire off was going to be difficult — I didn’t take into account the narrower width of the tires themselves, making mounting the tube a little tricky. I thought I had everything in place, when I saw the that the tire wasn’t mounted properly by the valve. It took some thinking to get the pad surrounding the valve up, and over the hook/lip of the tire. I finally got it. I was afraid to inflate the tire — if I had pinched the tube, I would know quickly. Luckily, I inflated to 80 lbs, and everything was good.
