Cloth rim tapes don't last forever, especially if they get wet and rot. The tube under pressure finds or makes a gap in the fabric and makes contact with the rim, and punctures follow, but it is almost impossible to see the cause. A quick fix is a layer of insulating tape over the cloth tape, if that works you know for certain what the problem is (or was)
But the schwalbe tapes are superb, highly recommended.
