Hi all
recently i've had really bad luck with flat tyres, i've had 3 flat tyres with in the span of 5 days.
first time it went flat just changed it
after few days of riding it went flat again so i cleaned the whole tube out made sure there was nothing left in side
and today bam it goes flat again.
btw this is all on the rear wheel.
currently im using Michelin Lithion tyres, that i bought about 2 months ago just before xmas. is it time to change or try a different brand?
if so can anyone recommend a good brand?.
its starting to get really really annoying.
thanks in advance

It could be something on the rim.
Have the three holes been in the same place? Are they on the inside or outside of the tube?

checked the tube from last night and it happend to be on inside of the rim rather than the out side.
one cut rather large as well, the tube deflated within less than 20 seconds
maybe its the rim tape im not too mechanical about bikes.
the current rim tape are the standard ones that came with the shimano r500 wheels, which i got with the bike 4 month ago

yeah went to his shop to buy some tubes because they were 5 bux as well so grabbed a tape off him too, went home checked all the old tubes they all poped in the same place on the inside
one of the wholes covered by the old rim tape was actually half exposed, and thats where it all happened
