Hello, I posted a while back about our tandem crash and since then I keep trying to figure it out. On the beginning of the ride our 100 # tire developed a bulge so we put on the original 60# knobby thinking I'd pick up a tire the next day. The tube fit the smaller diam tire. 15 mile in and after some serious speed control on a long downhill with a turn at the bottom we lost all pressure , floated for a split second on the large tire and went down. The puncture was on the inside(rim) and was shaped like an arrowhead with 3 small holes at the end of the puncture away from the point of the opening. The rim tape was perfect and all spokes were well below the surface. I can only think that the small holes happened first allowing the pressure to drop and the tire to rotate slightly on the rim causing the tear. Does that make sense to anyone ?. Thanks, bj
