How the hell does that happen. Was about ten minutes into a routine I do a lot and I was thinking, boy, am I struggling today. I then looked down and saw the tyre was flat. Rather odd I thought but went about changing the inner tube, carrying out the usual checks.
Set off again and lo and behold, another puncture!! But in a different place on the inner tube than the other one. I know this cos the second one was right beside the valve whereas the first one was about 30cms away from the valve.
Now, has this ever happened to anyone else before - was I just desperately unlucky or what?
Second time it happened, I went round the wheel and even turned the tyre inside out to check of any possible cause. I even checked the roller on the turbo but to no avail.
Wheel is off the bike with a new tube inside and inflated but I still may take it down to the LBS tomorrow so a more skilled eye can look at it
