Punctures

rockmonkeysc

In the last three days I have had seven punctures in my rear tyres. I'm starting to get bored of swapping tubes.
I have checked inside the tyre and rim and cant feel anything which could be causing them.
It's single punctures, not pinch flats. They are going down slowly.
Im running 120 psi front and rear. The roads I ride havent had any hedge cutting recently.
Any ideas?

Hi mate, if you have still got your old tubes check to see if the punctures have happened in the same place, if this is the case, this may help you locate the cause of the punctures. Some minute piece of glass or flint may be embedded in your tyre, which will only poke through when inflated to a high pressure. Hope this helps.

I never throw away a tube. I will check them.

Also worth checking the rim tape as well, just in case.

Check around the valve outlet for sharp edges.

Just an Idea to check your rim tape.. make sure there isn't a hole above one of the eyelets for your spokes when inflated to 120psi its force its way in that hole and catch any shaprs that maybe in there.
