I've just spent the best part of an hour trying to re-seat a tyre resulting from a massive flat spot (kerb case). In the end I gave up and put a tube in as I need my HT tomorrow to commute. A wheel swap was on the cards but pedalling a tough Vigi on the road didn't appeal.
To make matters worse we've just moved house and all my bike stuff is in boxes in the garage which is rammed with everything else that doesn't fit in the house yet. I did manage to find everything but its a PITA working without a work bench and organised tools...
I can see inserts as another level of infuriation...
What I have realised though is I should really buy a compressor.
