Deere Flats

Flat tire while out yesterday. Even with an extra tube and plenty of patches, I still ended up walking 3 miles home.

Not sure what happened but I think the tire, tube and rim strip slipped on the rim and that ripped the rim strip and the tube on a spoke nipple. It happened right when I took off from being stopped. The 2nd tube I installed got a cut at the valve stem after about a mile. May have something to do with tire being underinflated is all I can think of.

I wasted a lot of time and patches trying to get either of the tubes to hold air before admitting defeat.
