these are small pieces of glass, small enough that I have a hard time finding where they are stuck in the tire. Two of the flats have been the front tire and the other seven the rear tire. Each time I have topped my tubes off at, or above, 100 psi before the start of the ride. I have never had this many flats before in my life and it's driving me insane
. My question is then am I just having some of the worst luck in the world, or did I get a set of bad tires? I guess a good third question is too ask if anyone can think of something I might be doing wrong?
It might be useful for you to read pcad's thread from a few days ago. I think it was called Flats Domino. It discussed regularly inspecting your tires.
If you're getting repeated flats on the same tire, it's likely you have a small shard of something stuck in it. Take your time and carefully inspect the tire. Take it off the wheel if you have to. Get whatever is in there out before you replace/patch the tube and reinflate.
