constant flats...that come back to life

hey all,

first off I'm new to the forums. good to be here. Seems to be plenty of info on this board, and looking forward to learning alot...

now, onto the thread topic.

i recently got a KHS Flite 500 (about 2 months ago) and ride it nearly ever day, save a few days here and there. I started to experience flats often, and figured it was the rim linings. i replaced those with some nice thick ones from Metro Bicycles, and everything was ok..

About 2 weeks ago i started to experience something strange.

I went to ride and found my back tire flat. I took it apart, went to find out where the whole was, but the tube pumped up just fine. I put it back in, and the tube held the air just fine. Come back a few hours later, flat.

Replaced tube, everything was fine for a while. Same thing just happened again, and agian the ube is not punctured or broken. It pumps right back up.

(The Flite 500 I have has Shimano R500 wheelset, Kenda Kontender tires, and Shimano Stainless 14g spokes)

any idea on what's going on here?
