"dead" spot on tire?
I had a rear flat at the end of the ride today. The repair was uneventful, but when I got back on the bike, the rear tire had a strange "dead" spot and I felt a bump every time the wheel spun to that spot.
Does anybody know what this is? I deflated and re-inflated the back tire and it only made it a little better.
