I wonder if that happened because my tires were at 60 psi (I didn't pump it after my ride though...). Maybe it would be better if I keep the PSI at 50?
look for something small in the tire, like a piece of wire. I had this happen to me because of that. Came home after a ride and the tire was fine. Put it up on the trainer to fiddle with cleat placement a couple hours later and all was fine; next morning the tire was flat. The leak in the tube was so small I had to pump it up and put it in the tub to find it; I had to use the cotton ball trick to find the wire poking through, and a PAIR OF TWEEZERS to pull it out. I didn't have needle noses small enough.
