fandacious Posted August 30, 2007 Share Maybe you keep riding over thorns? broken glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thyolo Posted August 30, 2007 Share I've heard people are hacking into virtual reality trainers and leaving virtual tin tacks on the virtual road....... virtually....really. Thyolo2007-08-30 12:22:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javadude Posted August 30, 2007 Share 1) Maybe its pinching, 2) Maybe theres still a thorn or piece of glass embedded in the tyre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissVan Posted August 30, 2007 Share Do your tubes have patches on them?? IDT generates a lot of heat which can cause some patch glue to melt and leak, also old tubes durrrrent like the heat either.SwissVan2007-08-30 14:13:29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Zone Posted August 31, 2007 Share you need to regularly go over your tyres with a sharp knife and scrape the glass shards out outherwise they will migrate through your tyres. you can then seal the little cuts with superglue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remove the skin or cut it open. Take a needle with cotton thread and thread it through the blister a couple of times leaving the ends hanging from the blister. The fluid will drain through the cotton and after a day or two the blister is dry and you can pull the thread out. My tip for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastapouch Posted August 31, 2007 Share Also had a puncture on the idt, with that ugly yellow tyre. A patch wore out. the pressure off the roller probably push glass etc through the tyre and pshhhhhhhh.... that pisses me off on the idt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
