Ok, I found the prob. I index my tires to the rim so when flats happen I can more easily find where a puncture in the tire took place and in helping find anything left on the inside of the tire when on the road. Got home, found the hole in the tube and located a tiny spec of a hole in the tire. So it wasnt the tube or user installation....just one of those roadie things.
Having a flat tire as part of the total cycling experience is highly overrated. Knowing how to fix one quickly is not.
