I got stranded today on my Saturday ride. Like a fool, I didn't bring an extra tube, nor the pump, so I got to walk 3 miles to the bus stop in cycling shoes.
Decided it was time for new tires, and upgraded to some gatorskins. The original tires were 700x25, but the salesman at my LBS said to switch to 700x23. Mount up the new tires and tubes, take it for a ride to scrub in the tires. 2 miles out, another flat.
What should I be looking for when inspecting the rim? I'm assuming I have a sharp point somewhere causing the punctures. However, when running my finger along the inside, I feel no burrs.
Advice?
