I haven't had a bike flat in the last 2 1/2 years. Then, yesterday, I got the bike back from the dealership after they did the 8K service, rode around for a couple of hours and parked in the garage for the night. Got all ready for the gym this morning, walked out to the garage and psshh, first flat. Uhhhgg!
So, I searched the tire all over and found nothing - no punctures, tears, gashes or slashes, with plenty of tread - only have maybe 2000 miles on this back tire... can still see the blue marking from when it was new.
I got to thinking... yesterday had a high of 105 degrees where I'm at... and the shop, according to the service receipt, put the back tire at 41 psi (max 42 in cold).
Any chance the tire burst from too much pressure?
I filled it back to about 38 psi and am monitoring it.
What should I do? Fix-a-flat? Do I need to replace it? Would like to ride today, but no one is open on Sunday!
Thanks in advance...
