@CUTTER825 : Rule #30/31.... she had it in her jersey pocket.

Specialized Armadillo technology or equivalent (I have Bontrager Hardcases). Yeah, they are a little heavier...but it beats changing a flat.... oh btw... 700x25mm tires... you'll have to yank the tire through the dual pivot brakes...because even if you release the brakes, they won't clear easily. You can adjust the brakes to compensate also. Can't speak for DRT's.

I ride a Secteur...been there before with a flat before getting better tires

Whoa Were did the hand pump come from??

And you missed a step! Check the tire for glass or any sharp objects that caused the flat in the first place!
