So I just had my first flat on a road bike,
To be accurate it was actually a tire puncture (some tiny piece of metal road shrapnel) that went through to the inner tube, and I have changed the tube with my spare but I am left with a few questions.
1. Do I need to worry about the 1mm puncture in the tire?
2. The tube that was installed from the shop is a Specialized 700x20/28c, why can not find this size for sale?
3. Does it matter that I replaced the 700x20/28c with a 700x18?
4. Do I need to hunt around for this exact size 700x20/28c?
Thanks
