@dubtap - I almost had the same reaction when I my front Pro One decided to throw up all over me in its first week, but they're growing on me now. That first massive fuckpuncture didn't seal completely, but I was able to ride it in the other 8 miles regardless after giving it a quick top up pump half-way in, and a bit of superglue and a TipTop patch fixed that within 10 mins once I was at the office. On other rides (around country roads with recently cut spikey hedges no less) I've got home to find that one or both tires had multiple thorns in them – but I just didn't notice. I suspect I would have been two tubes down and enjoying a long walk if I'd been riding tubes.
@amey Alas, poor Brian. I knew him well.
