Mrs V has had as 3 visits from the P fairy on the rear wheel in as many weeks..
Each time the inner tube was binned (please don't judge) a cursory feel around the tyre in the dark and put back together...
After 3rd time i assumed it was more than coincidental.. So bought different make of inner tubes and some rim tape.. Got a bucket of water ready and then found this..
A better look round the tyre in daylight revealed the bead had split away from tyre... How i had missed it before I don't know... Amateur
