    Ok, so this is strange, but has anyone ever suffered a “puncture” on a turbo trainer?, I havent pulled the tyre off yet, but I doubt there is a hole in anything….just so strange

    Yep! Think it was down to a nick or pinch that just needed a bit of weight to set it free. Random as!

    Check the tyre. If it looks like a snake has poisoned your inner tube, check your room for snakes, and if you find none, then it’s likely to be a tyre pinch. This is caused by low pressure inner tubes wheedling their way between the tyre and wheel. Otherwise get out of the house ASAP.

    ….Or, if it’s a single hole, it could be you have crap between your tyre wall and the inner tube.

    Then again, what with the weather we had last year a large pot hole in your turbo trainer may have developed. But that really is an outside shot – but call your council….

    Yarp – could be a number of factors, esp if it’s been repaired before. Lots of friction going on there between tyre and roller with no air rushing past to cool it…
