Hi,
I'm sorry, 100 psi in a 38mm tire is just silly unless your elephant.
I'm not pronouncing it as the cause, but I wouldn't be surprised.
The tyre would have to weigh a lot to hold 100psi reliably, the
~ recommended pressure for an average rider on 25mm tyres.
rgds, sreten.

There is something very odd about a 38mm tyre marked 75 psi min to 100 psi max.
