Repeat flat
Last week I got a flat tire (two of them, actually...you might remember me whining). One was a slow leak. When I patched it, I found a cut in the tire but nothing in the cut. So I patched the tube, and put it back on. Thirty miles later, the tire was flat again. Same spot (missed the patch by about a quarter inch), same empty cut in the tire.
Do you think it's possible that an edge on the cut in the tire caused the second (and maybe even the first) flat? I slapped a patch on the tire, in addition to the tube. I don't know if it will have any effect.
I know, I know, get Marathon Plus. I'm actually planning to order Marathon Supremes. I'm just wondering what happened.
