Pulled away from a junction this evening and had an almost instant blow out. Was in a rush so just walked about a mile home. Just checked it now and it's completely cut through and has had it. Wonder what could have caused it as I thought these are supposed to be pretty tough - isn't there a layer of kevlar in there? Having second thoughts about instantly replacing it with another, although it's the first puncture I've had in over a year with this tyre - just wasn't expecting it to fail so spectacularly.
