Yeah, both my tubes blew on first ride, exact same thing, few inches round from the valve on the inside, the tubes burst where what looks like there had been a fault in the rubber, either that or there installation process has a flaw.
I quite like the squirming as you go round a corner, the tyres grip well i'm thinking about swapping them out for randonneur cross for day to day duties and saving them for when I'm planning on riding more deserving terrain...
I had same problem with my back wheel as above, I rang the branch and they swapped the wheel for one from the display bike, which was true.
I'm going to ride mine 2-3 more weeks then ask the local branch with the decent mechanic to do the free 6 week service early... should be sorted then.
enjoy it! its been a journey ha
