Fifteen ks into my ride this afternoon, when my front tyre deflates pretty fast. Inspect inside of tyre for thorns or tacks etc and nothing. So I pump up the tube and it seems ok - can't hear any air escaping or anything, except when I take the pump off, there's a hiss coming from the valve untill I get the little knurled whatsit done up tight. Could the vibration of a very poor road surface have made the knurled thingy come undone? (maybe I hadn't done it up tight in my haste to get out) But even then, there would have to be a fault with the valve for air to come out surely?
Anyway, put everything back and got enough air into the tube to get me home, and I've since banged 100psi into it with the track pump and everything seems ok. Bizzare or what?
Any ideas?
