I have been having a small problem with flat tires lately. I've had my bike for about a year and about 2 weeks ago I got a flat in the rear tire. I don't have a lot of experience (ie. skills and knowledge) in replacing the tube so I took it to the bike shop near my house. Then yesterday I was riding and got another flat when I bunnyhopped over a small pothole. Went to the bike shop today and got a new tube installed, and then less than 2 hours later I'm on a ride and I get a flat when I went on a small bump in the road (less than half an inch high).
So what I want to know is if anyone has any experience with this or any ideas about what's causing this. <http://www.opusbike.com/site_route_10.php?lang=en> My bike is the Fidelio under the cyclosport tab. At first I thought that maybe my tires were overinflated but I ruled that out pretty quickly as I keep both my tires at 100psi and don't think that should be the problem. My other guess is that the bike store I go to is using very low quality tubes. But either way I would love to hear some thoughts on this.
