Title: Tire Question
Post by Ric_Clark on Mar 28^th, 2011, 9:01pm

On the way back from a ride this week, just before I got home, I got a flat on my trike tire. I have Schwalbe Marathon Supreme. I took the wheel off and placed it in water to see if it was a flat or a valve issue. As I ran the tire under water I noticed that I was getting bubbles from along the side wall where the reflective strip ran. Is this normal as I do not remember having this before?

I took the tire off and found the reason for the flat was a rub in the tube. Patched the tube and replaced the tube inside the tire and all seems well.
