did you fill your tyres with a CO2 cannister when you were out? they deflate over 24 hours because it's thinner than air so leaks out. you need to reinflate with air when you get home.

When 1st got the 1st bike ever, offthepeg (I'd built up all bikes I ever had) it had michelin dynamic tyres on. Not bad, pretty grippy, bit heavy on the feel: had the opinion they would have made good touring like tyres. ;)

Anyhow, time went by and I got 'slow puncture after slow puncture, after slow puncture: I was getting REALLY seriously irritated ! You know when you start off then you may get a punc. say 10mls in...so you've gotta stop, do the biz - then kick-off again and say it'd happen again (at some mileage later) :sad: I even wondered if someone had jinxed the bloody things..:biggrin:

So changed to Michelin Oriums.

Which simliar in tread pattern and very affordable.

One reason I feel tyres puncture, is that they are not inflated properly :sad:
