Hi Phil, thanks for the input.  I don't know if you're lucky or I'm unlucky!

My problems have been over several tires, over several years.  This happened
as well on a set that I bought from Rivendell originally (but wasn't
obsessively putting photos of everything on flickr at that point).

thanks for the head up on the flat protection, I'll check that out!

Ritchey used to have a Tom Slick model that measured an actual 30mm, but
they don't carry it any more. That would have been a cool option for me.

Thanks!
David
