I lost a tire a couple years ago to a sealant called "Joes". Like Stans,
you inject it in the tube. It didn't really work and gunked up the inside
of my tire so much that I had to replace it.

I did the "just don't shift" thing for several months before removing 8 of
9 cogs. I find it more relaxing not to have the option.
I weigh 165 and usually carry 5-10 lbs in my saddlebag. I'm probably more
likely to go too heavy than too light. Right now I'm asking myself if 32

I do not like flats on my way to work. I used to run Marathon Pluses, and
upgraded to 35mm Supremes when I got my Riv 3 years ago. Last year I got a
flat and replaced the rear tube with a Slime tube.

be a consideration depending on what brake style you like.
