A small burr on your rim may be enough when you add curb jumping into the mix.

When you say the "last 3 were pinch flats" , how often are they occurring? ...how many miles between flats?
AND, are you saying there were even MORE, just that the last 3 were the same?

Another thought.... what is the quality of the tubes being used? There are good tubes, and not so great tubes out there.

Good luck.
I asked the same but they said no rim issues when they took off the tire and tube.
The flats are occurring between 10 and 50 miles. The pinches are intermittent and just the last couple have been more mysterious (didn't hit anything, uncertain about debris but no real cuts were found).
The tubes are the $18 dollar jobs from the shop.
