While riding last Sunday, with in the last mile of my ride my bike felt a little sluggish. At first I thought it was just me and that I may have pushed my self a little too hard.
After reaching home I didn't think about it too much and put the bike back in it's place on the trainer in the rec room.
Last night I went into rec room to only find my rear tire has gone flat. After looking at the tire, I found several small holes and a couple of very small cuts over about a 4 to 6 inch strip along the tire. I don't recall hitting or running anything over that could have caused this?
I'll removing the tire today afterwork and taking a closer look at both the tire and tube. What's the best way to mark the tube before removing it out from the tire to see if these holes/slits line up on the tube?
Do you think I could still use the tire or should I buy a replacement?
