Fixing Punctures / Puncture Repair / Exploding Tubes

Good tyres won't stop everything getting through. Yes, they can go a long way to help reduce punctures, but you can never eliminate them entirely.

Perhaps, but I'm on 3 years with no punctures. That's near eliminated as far as I'm concerned.
Still, I carry tools, no need to tempt fate.
