My father arrived back at the train station today to find that the
front tyre was completely flat and had a pleasant walk home in the
rain. I've just taken the tyre off and the Presta valve is sheered off
about 3mm from the base. The metal tubing is actually fractured. Would
this be something that happens occasionally with these valves. Has
anyone else had it happen. I thought that the 60 psi pressure might be
too much for the tube. Seems pretty hairy though, if it had shot off
during riding it could of had someone's eye out.
cheers, Nick.
