One month

[Diddon]

Well I've had my bike a month and I think today's ride to work was the single worst ride I've ever had.

Picked up a huge screw in my tyre after just 1 mile no big issue changed to a new tube in a few minute and then continued on.

Over the next 11 miles I had to stop 3 times as the brand new specialized tube just wouldn't hold the air long enough the tube was fitted fine not caught anywhere so no idea why it won't hold air.

Ended up waking the last half a mile as I had enough if stopping.

But after all that I still managed an 14.4mph average

Sounds like a dodgy valve to me...

Had a small hole in the tube in one of the seems got another tube in now and it's fine

Oh ok. What type of tyres are you using and what psi I do you pump to?

And when changing tyres make sure the inner tube is not pinched between the rim and tyre.

My guess is whatever caused the first puncture is still there still in the tyre and caused a 2nd puncture. Check the tyre carefully and pull out anything suspicious.

He said it was a huge screw so he hadn't left it in.
