Oh, and I would never pay $50 for 3 tubes, 2 levers and a pouch. But your doing great if you get a flat every 2 years. It would drive me nuts not knowing how to fix a flat tire.

I had no ideas it was so tricky taking the tire off with a hub. But honestly knowing how to change a bike tire is an essential skill if you ride much. You just never know when you're going to get a flat miles from a bike shop. It looks like there's some info on how to fix flats when you have an internal hub on Sheldon Brown's site (http://sheldonbrown.com/flats.html). I also bet they'd show you how if you took a Road I class at a local bike collective. Yikes! I had no ideas it was so tricky taking the tire off with a hub.
