I know what you mean about the heavy duty tubes. I was riding with a buddy this past weekend, and he picked up a drywall screw in the rear of the DR. It took us almost 45 minutes to get the tire opened up and the tube out of the rim. Really heavy construction, nice thick walls on those tubes. We found the hole, threw a patch at it, and once it was dry we put everything back together. That was a week ago, and I've ridden the DR twice since then with no issues. Those heavy duty tubes are worth their weight in gold. I'm actually thinking about throwing a couple ounces of slime tire sealant in all the tires, just as a little cheap insurance. Glad you came through it with nothing more than an unexpected dry cleaning bill.
