Flat tire repair.

I have a kickstand that attaches near the dropouts, I put the stand down and
lean my TE against something. That gives me plenty of room to remove the tire.
Since I have rear panniers this is easy- I don't have to remove them to get to
the wheel.

One more tip.

Usually I just pump up the tube with 10-15 strokes and listen for air escaping (from the tube!) while rotating it near the good ear.

This will probably draw some interesting comments but here goes:

I find that some leaks don't make enough noise to hear so I always
rotate the tube with some air pressure near wet lips and have always
found the leak quickly.
