I got a new inner for the front tyre as I've had the same ones since I got the bike and, needless to say, there were one or two patch jobs on them and with hindsight I maybe should have just got one for the rear as well and changed them both. When I was at the local bike shop for the tube, the chap mentioned getting loads of people coming in for similar replacements because of the warm weather and leaving their bikes in sheds which tend to get really warm, with this then leading to punctures. With the second tyre now having sprung a leak and knowing that the actual tyres themselves were free from any possible puncture-inducing thorns/glass etc, I was wondering if there might be something in what he was saying. Anyone heard of the hot shed tyre bursting gremlin? </p>
