Is it riding into a head-wind on the last stretch of your ride?

That's mine. I hear Danny Glover from ~~Die Hard~~ Lethal Weapon in my head every time...

EDIT: Correct movie referenced

I use tubes with good tires and can't remember the last flat I had (knocking on giant wood). Tire quality matters too, not just tubes vs. tubeless.

Although sometimes we do just get unlucky and get a string of flats for no good reason.
