On Monday after the mud bog races I noticed that my right rear tyre was flat. I removed the wheel, inflated it and ran water over it to find the leak. It was leaking around the bead of the rim, after I deflated the tyre I could push down on the tyre and found that at the two places where air was leaking there was small pebbles between the rim and tyre!!!!!
Have any of you guys had this problem, it seems that during the races small pebbles were pushed into the joint between rim and tyre and eventually caused the leak.
Any thoughts?
I am taking the tyre into town in the morning to have the bead broken, cleaned up and refitted. On a similar thing, do any of you guys carry tyre changing gear on your longer rides?
