comment Am I too heavy for my road bike tires?
This issue was definitely because of under-inflation. All I had at the time was a hand pump and there was no way I was going to get it up to the proper psi. Got a floor pump and I am much happier now. Thanks for the answer!

comment How do I fix a puncture?
Btw, if I have the space I do usually carry a spare tube. Especially if I don't have time to do a patch. However, I will usually patch the tube when I get home and then carry it as a spare.

A patch kit is also smaller/lighter than carrying a spare tube. I guess it doesn't matter too much if you have the space, but I would rather not throw out something perfectly fine just because it has a tiny hole.

comment How do I prevent the rear derailleur from slipping gears?
Make sure you replace both the chain and the cog. If you do one or the other, the chain will still jump because the wear no longer matches.
