• Rear had been a bit dodgy for a while, always losing pressure faster than the front. Seemed to hold during rides as long as I got it up to pressure and immediately started riding.

    Until a couple of weeks ago when I left home with 58 psi and got home with a squishy 23 psi.

    Can't be dealing with tyre jizz all over the flat so took it to LBS, they cleaned, re-taped with one kind of tape and that didn't hold air, re-taped with DT Swiss tape and mechanic swore it was all kosher, holding 70 psi no probs with Stans race sealant. Woke up to this sorry scene.

    Fuck this fucking shit, I'm throwing a tube in.

  • Slight buckle in the rim somewhere? Some tyres are just shit though, and don't take kindly to being run with tubes or being refitted

  • Rim was checked and it's fine, no perceptible buckle. I've resigned myself to running these tyres down with tubes and then switching to either Schwalbe Pro One or Pirelli Cinturato.

    Looks like Michelin have discontinued these tyres so there's maybe something to that...
