My lucky day bike is on the jack spinning the front wheel looked Ok went to the back wheel spun it till I saw a nail in it. Lucky part is I didn't blow out or get stranded.

Tested it for air leaking out none, pressure held at 33psi that's what I had in it last time I looked. Maybe it didn't go all the way in I'll check it tomorrow. and pull it out, patch it till I get a new tire.


Could have been my problem?

try 41 pounds of air in that sporty rear tire, if its a dunlop...it changes the whole world....33 lbs. would feel like riding on a road covered in marshmellows.......

dunlop 401-402, should run 41 pounds, maybe Dave can confirm this for me....but 33 sounds to low.......g

Agreed. I run Dunlop 404s and have (cold) 38 rear/40 front. That's also on a heavier bike......
