    after a similarly bad experience, a cycling friend advised me never to buy more than one tube from the same lot to avoid this problem. Sounds as if batches of bad tubes are not uncommon.

    Well, after this lovely thread - I went to ride this morning and found my back tire was flat!! Must have been a really slow leak - I couldn't find any hole (I never can, though.) Filled it with CO2 inflator (I've been a "pumper" for 15 years.) WOW! Two seconds, 120 pounds of air & I'm good to go!

    i can never find the hole in the tube either. I always have to put the tube in a bucket of water and look for bubbles.

    Geez Dogmama, I'm so sorry Good thing you had the CO2 - that's pretty much been my lifesaver the past few flats, and thank goodness, I was not far from home - just needed enough to get me there cuz I sure wasn't going to tap dance my way home

    Tonight before retiring for the evening, I'll make sure to do a trendy little "no flat" dance to alert the tube angels to watch over us!
