Friends -
I had a normal, short ride on my felt F65 on Sunday and went out to do the same on Tuesday morning, to discover that the rear tire was flat. I wanted to get on the road quickly, so I replaced the tube, pumped it up, and went for my ride. I got the bike over the winter, and this is the first flat.
I jst went out to prepare for a ride tomorrow morning, and found that the rear tire is flat again. I know it could be a coincidence, but...
I never looked very carefully at the old tube, but I've still got it and will inspect it. What can I look for on the tire/wheel that might be causing this?
The specs on the tire and wheel are:
Continental Sport 1000, Kevlar bead, 700 x 23C and Kenda Koncept 650 x 23c, both w/Kevlar bead.
Thanks in advance,
