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

Flats.
I’m very close to going tubeless, as my bike is ready for it.
But this month I’ve had three flats that luckily I was able to finish my rides before noticing - only to find out the next morning.
But my tire beads are really tough to get off the rim, so it’s always a fight to change a tube.
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.
