  • getting lots of rear punctures recently..... already tried replacing the tyre, so the new tyre is good and checked thoroughly - the tube seems to suggest its the same place and slightly on the tyre wall - could it be the rim??? its an old rim. i even put in kevlar insert into the tyre but today i got the same puncture....

  • If it's "the same" puncture, and it can't be the tyre, then it must be the rim.

    Could be that whatever is piercing the tube, is only revealed when the tyre flexes enough to reveal it.

    Any rough ground or notable bumps before you punctured?

    its a UK road ;-) but thinking about it , it could well be.... so when im sat on the seat putting pressure on the tyre and its bumpy and it hit a certain section of the rim - that could be the puncture?

    excuse for a new rear wheel then :D
