Regularly check, but not every week. Whoops
Sounds like the rear wheel has been locked up, best not to do that if you value your tires.
Well I only brush the tyres clean every now and then. Read this thread, went and found some stuff stuck in the rear tyre, tried to dig it out and not sure if I got it or pushed it in! Deflated and reflated the tyre whilst fiddling with it, so now making sure spare tube\pump\patches are ready just in case. Whoever coined the phrase ignorance is bliss may have been on to something!!
Didn't realise that this was common practise, will start doing it when I get my new tyres. While I'm on the subject of new tyres, does anyone have any recommendations of a nice, fairly inexpensive, pair? 700x23c please.
Vittiria Rubinos - awesome tyres for the price (£11.17 at Wiggle) (and available in red to match your bike)
Thanks Ian, will give these tyres a try
