Last night got the folder ready for this morning and decided to top up the tyre pressure. Came down this morning to find the rear tyre flat. I tried pumping it back up but it was flat again when I got home this evening. The bike hasn't been used for a week and the tyre was definitely inflated before I decided to top it up. If anyone can think of a mechanism whereby a puncture can occur overnight inside one's house just from topping up the tyre I'd love to hear it :rolleyes:.

Sorted it now. The valve was leaking at the point where the core goes into the valve stem. Have managed to tighten it and it has stopped leaking. Have inflated tube and will leave overnight to verify it has actually stopped leaking. I must have accidentally loosened it when topping up the pressure.
