Went for a nice ride yesterday with my wife. She was riding along behind me and got a flat. I was riding on the same road as she was, and there wasn't any glass or crud on the road. All of a sudden I hear the dreaded pfffst..pfffst..pfffst..pfffst..pfffst..pfffst.
Fortunately I had just bought a spare tube and a CO2 cartridge the other day.
I checked the tire, and found no cuts, and there appeared to be NOTHING that had pierced the tire. And the rim is a Campy Zonda rim that's sealed with no spoke holes, so it doesn't use a rim strip - so that isn't a factor. BTW, the tire is a new Vittoria Daimante inflated to 140 psi (it's max rating is 155 psi).
So whaddya think it might have been? It's got me wonderin.
