Someone please help me out in understanding the term. I have always
thought of pinch flats as what happens when a tube is improperly seated
in the tire ans gets "pinched" between the tire and rim wall.
In this group lots of folks seem to refer to pinch flats as what
happens with "too small" tires for the load being carried. Is the idea
that the load essentially flattens the tire and thus "pinches" the tube
between the tire and rim body?
If this is so I have never seen that happen. Is it really a matter of
load or insufficient inflation?
Thanks!
