It's either a slow puncture or a problem with the valve. Sure as eggs
is eggs it will go down again, and Murphy says it will do it at the
worst possible moment. Sometimes you can go for weeks with a tyre like
this but often it goes down a little quicker each time. I'd spend 5
minutes bunging a new tube in tonight before cracking those bottles and
put the suspect tube aside for Ron.
