That's funny.

Returning home from my last ride on the RX3, I got a flat rear tire about 4 miles from home. This morning I changed the rear tire, and discovered I did not have a puncture flat. The inner tube in my rear tire had a very small cut, the size of a pin prick. The cut was on the top of the inner tube, next to the rim. The rim strip was in excellent shape, as was the rim itself. I surmise either the inner tube was bad, or it was damaged when installed at the factory.

I seized this opportunity to install a new inner tube, and a new, Shinko, 244 rear tire in size 5.10-17. Today the weather was overcast, and threatening to rain. Nevertheless, I went for a ride to test the tire. I got a little cold and wet, but I had a fun ride. The Shinko, 244 rear tire did a great job.
