[iAmiAdam]

I'm yet to experience this, and touch wood I wont.

 

[potsy]

And I suppose you never flinched Buggi? You hard woman of steel you

 

[buggi]

surprisingly, i didn't flinch at all, coz i iz 'ard. I did flinch the time it happened when i was riding my bike though... thought i'd been shot LOL

 

[buggi]

but i did flinch when she pointed out to me that i had dirtied her £400 rug with my tyre! oops

 

[Globalti]

The bang was so loud it nearly gave your aged mother a fatal heart attack, you say?

*checks diary for next opportunity to visit mother and fit in some cycling around her area*

When my Mother was a girl, she used to silently put a penny banger underneath my Great-grandmother's chair when she was sat down to afternoon tea in the parlour (she was a "respectable" old lady left over from Victorian times!) The result was that she would often throw the tea all over herself and then chase my Mother round the house while clutching a slipper.

Road or Mtb ?

I've done that to a Road tyre and god almighty it was loud, seriously made the missus jump (and myself ). It was about that time i was sentenced to life in the shed for bike repairs, though I'm sure it had nothing to with that incident

 

[surfdude]

I only just spotted my tube bulging out of my tyre in the corridor at work the other week..... 120 PSI going off in an office.....Oh my..... just averted a bomb scare.

Had a tyre blow through the casing on a wet road before whilst on a club run, the sound was like a gun going off, then a 'mist' cloud coming from the spray off the road....

 

[jimboalee]

So it was you.
I rushed out to the shed thinking it was one of my tyres.

 

[Ghost Donkey]

I did that to my kids with a football. It was a bit flat so I added a bit of air with my track pump at the same time as doing my bike. My daughter dropped the ball on the floor and BANG! The don't half make a racket when they burst, nearly as much noise as three crying daughters and an angrey wife

Need it timed so the tyres do that 20" after setting off if the bike's stolen .

Need to clean the seat afterwards though.

We were in a lovely hill top Italian village square about to have lunch when my wife noticed a slight bulge in the tyre wall. I said I would fix it after lunch - big mistake. It went off like a rifle shot with 120 psi while we were having a civilised lunch. The reaction of the people in the square was actually quite amusing. Shocked probably sums it up. So yes, in a house it would be somewhat louder.
