Ok, monday night, I hit something hard going back home. Anyway, rolled into the house, thought it was ok. Next morning...tire is flat. Changed it, waited an hour, flat again. Changed it, put on a new tire, waited 15 minutes, flat. Each time, it had a hole about 1/3 of the way from the valve stem. The third time, it had two holes, almost like a snakebite! Only thing I can find is the little seam where the rim is connected together. Is this what is causing my flats? What is going on here?! This is really getting to me...

I hope that I am wrong, but try to flex the rim while you look at the seam. I sure hope that it doesn't open and close under stress. Simply inflating a tube with a cracked rim joint might cause it to open and nip the tube. A long shot, but.....
