In 9 years of riding I have had one flat on a ride. I'm either incredibly lucky, or doing something right. 

Now you've done it. You never ever talk about not getting a flat because when you do you'll get one your next ride.

9 years, so you must have started tubeless? Back in the tube days it was a regular occurrence, I don't miss that shit one bit.

Yep! The bike shop and my buddies who got me into it back in 2011 convinced me it was the only way to go.

Even with tubeless I had 3 flats in one lap of LGT once.  Slashed tire then with a tube 2 tubes pinch flatted.  Sucks going back to high pressures after getting used to tubeless.    I had the same problem on the road.  I still ride with tubes on the road bike.  I had 3 flats on Parmer (probably 10+ years ago when it had less traffic).

On the bright side, several months ago I accidentally bought deodorant without antiperspirant. Caring less about pit stains these days, I’m finally putting my mistake to use.




Yeah, I’m really digging deep.

I suppose if you need it, you need it, but I stopped using anti-perspirant probably 10 years ago, and only use deodorant. Shirts no longer have stiff-clothed stains in the pits, and I feel better about not stuffing skin pores with metal particles.

Same here.  Anti-perspirant made me really itchy too.  I just embrace the wet pits in the summer.
