Well ok, today probably hasn't been one of my best days. Some how I managed to bust two inner tubes in a day.
My sister asked if she could go on my bike while I did some work so being the nice guy I am I said sure.
When I went to go on it this afternoon the front tire was completely flat. I asked her if she noticed it and she said no (yeah ... sure) so I had to get another one.
So I got another one, fitted it and went for a ride and low and behold that one broke as well. Luckily I was only about half a mile from my house when it did.
On closer inspection it appeared that I twisted the inner tube while fitting it. I'm so glad that inner tubes don't cost that much because at this rate i'll be using loads every week :angry:

Pinch punctures or twists are quite common. When you first inflate a new tyre only inflate partially then massage the tyre, moving the bead to release the inner tube if it's trapped. :thumbsup:
