I had a similar issue once, the tyres were done any way so I just binned them, but... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57836 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:36:00 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 57836@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think I found the problem at lunchtime. Reasonable size split (2-3mm) in the tyre. Which I think is bigger then a tiny nick I think I noted there a while back (at that time it just looked like a normal teeny nick out the rubber). </p> <p>I presume the inner tune is basically trying to push out of the tyre and finally letting go. Didn't only patch the tube, but put a patch on the inside of the tyre. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57784 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:56:46 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 57784@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's what I'm thinking. Could always tell on the white Halos I used cos they wore through to a yellow belt underneath. Had expected the same on this, but maybe the black is different. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57776 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:40:09 +0000 kaputnik 57776@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>In which case it could be the entire tyre is worn? Second to last instance of exploding tyre due to wear amazed me with just how thin the casing had become in places. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57762 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 11:52:06 +0000 wingpig 57762@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Also check your garage floor, the road outside your house and perhaps even the cat's claws and the chickens' beaks for tell-tale rubber marks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57731 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:54:56 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 57731@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Aye. Within walking distance of work this time thankfully. New toob and everything. Though I've not had time to change the tyres over to CX yet after being out on Monday night and domestically engaged last night. I'm tied up most of tonight as well, but sod it, this is getting rediculous so I'll be swapping tyres in the wee small hours (and working out how to create clearance to the 'guard in one particular spot).</p> <p>It's either the Halo is worn, or rubbing, on one spot. Or the rim is knackered in one spot. But I can't see any pattern to where the punctures are - try different tyres before resorting to more drastic measures. But that's 4 in the last 2 weeks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57725 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:45:29 +0000 wingpig 57725@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Did you get another? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57723 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 10:34:24 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 57723@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm a day late. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57589 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:27:53 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 57589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'm off to stick a pin through my tyre... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5378#post-57568 Tue, 21 Feb 2012 01:25:16 +0000 kaputnik 57568@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Dang!
