How's life without a spare?

 

Never needed one. I have had a few punctures, but I have had them patched.

 

So when you had the puncture, what did you do? Manage to drive it to a good tire shop that knew how to remove the tires without mangling the rims?

Or did a flatbed have to be called?

 

I make it to the tire shop and get it patched from the inside. There is a good shop two blocks from my office, cost me $20 to do the repair. I use to get them frequently, then I switched from PZero's to PS2's, have not had a problem with them yet, go figure.

 

Good deal. That reminds me I need to pre-discover where the good tire shops are that can get the tire off the rim without mangling the rim paint. Does anyone know of a good shop in the Bellevue, Washington area? Now, for those road trips, I really need to get that patch kit put together...
