Bit of a story this.
Had to put a bit inner tube in my bike last night due to getting a piece of glass in the tyre which went all the way through. Got all the glass out(i think)m looks like there is a small hole where the glass was.
So pumped it up to 110psi put bike back in shed, A couple of hours later i heard a lrage bang/pop noise, thought nothing of it till this morning when i went to get my bike out of the shed and found that the tube had exploded!!
Any ideas why this could be?
It was a brand new tube so that should have been ok.
Had a pinched the tube??
Could that tiny hole cause a weak spot? As it seemed that the tube had exploded near to where the hole was.
Also it exploded near to the valve.
A dodgy tube?
Will I need a new tyre now as well?
Need to get this sorted as doing the Tour ride on sunday, so need to feel confident that its ok. Dont really want to be paranoid about a dodgy tyre/tube.
Any help/advice would be most welcome.
