As for the flat fix, I have had several flats in the boonies and non of them was ever a small puncture that would have been fixed by a can of flat fix. They tend to be longer jagged cuts or blowouts. First thing I did when I got the 987 was to buy a spare tire and throw out the flat fix. Takes up a bit of room, but on 2 occasions I have had to limp home on the donut over 150 miles rather than wait upwards of 4 days to get a tire shipped in. Before someone tells me there is a 50 mile limit on the donut, I am well aware of that, but you do what you must when the occasion demands.
